...Delhi blasts once again raise questions over India's ability to prevent terror attacks. There have been 13 major incidents in the past five years, and each time the same issues have been raised - lack of coordination between state and central security and investigation agencies, and intelligence and police forces being inadequately staffed, equipped and trained.
