Mumbai: Army chief Deepak Kapoor on Tuesday warned that 26/11 type Mumbai terror attacks were a possibility and that India has to take all steps to counter such strikes.

The South Asian region is infested with terror groups. Be it India, Afghanistan or Pakistan, "we have to collectively battle such threats," said kapoor.

Kapoor said both Defence Minister A K Antony and Home Minister P Chidambaram had asked our nation to be cautious against such threats.

To allegations from Pakistan Army that they have seized some Indian-made weapons from terrorists involved in recent attacks, the Army chief said,India had no intention of causing trouble inside Pakistan and that it did not support any terror group in the region, said the Army chief.

"We want Pakistan to be stable and peaceful," he said.

A news channel on Monday reported that India is on high-alert, with intelligence inputs that suggest an attack by sea, originating in Pakistan, is expected before the one-year anniversary of 26/11. Government sources confirmed that India would not hesitate to retaliate.

Over the weekend, Home Minister P Chidambaram warned Pakistan against sending terrorists into India.

"I've been warning Pakistan every time, to not play with our country again and to stop with the Mumbai game. I'm warning Pakistan for the last time. If Pakistan attempts to send terrorists into India again, India will not only foil those attempts but also give them a crushing response," said Chidambaram.
