`Indian Intelligence Bureau among top 5 in the world`
Washington, Aug 03: India's Intelligence Bureau has been identified
as being among the top five such outfits in the world, says the
private American intelligence news gathering entity Strategic
Forecasting (STRATFOR).
According to STRATFOR, the Intelligence Bureau (IB), India`s main
domestic security and counter-terrorism force, exhibits efficiency
and a certain level of sophistication, but has a reputation for brutality.
The IB`s strength lies in its ability to conduct surveillance. It is
among the world`s five best intelligence services when it comes to
conducting physical surveillance, bugging hotel rooms and carrying
out "black bag jobs" (covert or clandestine surreptitious entries
into structures to obtain information. They include lock picking,
safe cracking, key impressions, finger printing, photography,
electronic surveillance (audio (bugging) or visual (micro cams)),
mail manipulation (flaps and seals), forgery and a host of other
related skills.)
According to STRATFOR, however, efforts should be made to beef up
intelligence capabilities to counter Kashmiri militants who have
begun to target other parts of India.
There is a fear in Indian intelligence circles that these attackers
could set their sights on hi-tech firms operating within the country.
Many of these companies have extensive operations in India's IT
capital, Bangalore.
Since the attacks in the United Kingdom, Indian authorities have
asked information technology companies in Bangalore and Hyderabad,
another high-tech hub, to step up security. Karnataka has even set up
a new counter-terrorism unit for Bangalore on the lines of what
exists in Mumbai.
The Ahmed brothers` alleged connection to the failed bombings in
Britain and the murder of Professor Emeritus M.C. Puri at the Indian
Institute of Science in Bangalore in late December 2005 is a sign
that the threat is serious.
