Difficult to stop every terror attack: Rahul

Bhubaneswar: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that 99 per cent of the terror attacks had been stopped in the country, thanks to various measures, including improved intelligence.

Addressing a press conference, a day after serial bombings in Mumbai killed at least 17 people and injured more than 130, the Congress MP called for efforts to stop terrorist attacks in the country.

"It is very difficult to stop every single terrorist attack," he said, adding that 99 per cent of the attacks have been stopped. "We must stop 100 per cent attacks."

Referring to Wednesday's attack, Gandhi said the response of the government was prompt. "We are responding to it in quite an organised fashion."

Rahul Gandhi is on a two-day visit to Orissa beginning Wednesday to strengthen the grassroots base of the party.

He will returns to New Delhi Thursday.
