Terrorists can surprise us, says Manmohan

On the Jaipur blasts, he refused to blame the intelligence agencies, saying terrorists 8216;can surprise us8217; and that is the 8216;reality8217;.

Responding to questions at a press conference, Singh said creation of a Federal Crime Agency was the need of the hour as terrorism and several white-collar crimes have inter-state aspects.

He, however, said this proposal could not be implemented as there is 8216;reluctance8217; on part of states to 8216;surrender their powers8217;.

He was quick to add that he was not apportioning blame on states but the matter had to be looked into.
