Intel warnings on Mumbai attack were "lost in the system"

The authorities have acknowledged that a warning was received. Intelligence officials say it was passed to the navy, coastguard and police. But the agencies say it did not reach them.

‘It appears to have been lost in the system,’ one official said yesterday…

However, intelligence sources said Mumbai authorities were also told in writing of a possible attack, naming the Taj Mahal hotel, which became the scene of shootings, as a target.
