An Indian SME viewpoint, written after the recent Kashmir VBIED attack:
One of the reasons for the impression of intelligence failure is the inability of ground action groups to convert national or tactical intelligence inputs into local action. This is aggravated by the practice of pigeonholing terrorists or groups on the basis of previous terror acts. Intelligence analysts and supervisory officers should not have pre-determined assessments based only on past experience.
