New Delhi: India had repeatedly allowed the perpetrators of terror attacks to get away, Indian Army chief Gen Deepak Kapoor said on Wednesday while stressing that the country could not "afford a repeat of 26/11".

"The US has not allowed a second 9/11, Indonesia has not allowed a second Bali," Kapoor said, adding that India had allowed those behind the "2001 parliament attack, Delhi blasts and Mumbai terror attack" to get away.

"India cannot afford a repeat of 26/11," the army chief said while addressing a seminar on Network Centricity and National Security organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.

He also underscored the significance of network centricity for better intelligence gathering and sharing.

"There has to be speedy flow of intelligence and updated data for speedy decision based on the geographical location and a swift action by nearest security agencies," said Kapoor.

Endorsing his view, Minister of State for Defence M.M. Pallam Raju said considering the 'fragile internal security scenario', there had to be new centres to facilitate rapid action across the country and better coordination among intelligence agencies and security forces.
