Labelling the 26/11 terror attacks as "deceptively simple and highly coordinated with little money expended", the FBI has said the crippling flaw in the Mumbai police's defence against the initial assault was that its officers didn't even carry weapons.
The premier US investigative agency has also pointed out that the Indian forces did not have the sophisticated gadgets and systems to intercept the communication between the attackers and their handlers in Pakistan.
FBI said absence of weapons with the Mumbai police had led to dozens of people being mowed down at five-star hotels, a train station and a Jewish centre before the specialised Indian forces killed all but one of the terrorists.
"Half of these guys weren't armed" during the initial assault in Mumbai, said Sergent Alan Matas. "That's half the battle."
"If something like this happened here, we would respond with a more organised attack," Detective Ivan Cabrera was quoted as saying by 'The Miami Herald' newspaper.
