| <STATMENT OF THE OBVIOUS> Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee warned the international community again that India's patience was wearing thin, and that New Delhi would not tolerate terrorist attacks against its citizens indefinitely. In a hard-hitting speech that was broadcast live on television, Vajpayee said the world should understand that India's patience and tolerance were not without limits. "When the world is fighting terrorism and American forces are in Afghanistan fighting the forces of terrorism, then how and for how long can India tolerate terrorism?" he said in Manali, a hill resort 250 miles north of New Delhi, where he is currently taking what has been described as a five-day vacation. The prime minister said he regretted that India had not struck at militant groups soon after a terrorist attack on the Indian parliament Dec. 13. "India should have taken action against cross-border terrorism soon after the attack on the Parliament," he said. </STATMENT OF THE OBVIOUS> |
