United States, Europe offer India help with new anti-terror agency
With Parliament clearing the National Investigation Agency Bill, the Government is going to get help from friends in Europe and US in setting up the agency which will have sweeping powers to investigate terror attacks across the country.
It is learnt that the US and several European nations are willing to assist New Delhi in concretizing this new agency. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown are among leaders who have already pledged support.
Areas of assistance would be as varied as “intelligence sharing” to “gathering and studying evidence” and even “handling difficulties in centre-state domain issues” — lessons learnt by the US after 9/11 and Britain after the 2005 London bombings.
