The WEEK magazine in the issue dated March 3 has, after accessing intelligence reports, stated that "the Pulwama attack was an intelligence failure".

The story by our Senior Special Correspondent Namrata Biji Ahuja highlighted chinks in the armour of the Indian intelligence that could have led to the attacks. THE WEEK had accessed reports based on preliminary findings of the National Bomb Data Centre.
“Bomb-disposal experts who scanned the site said a lot of sophisticated planning had gone into assembling the improvised explosive device (IED) that ripped through the convoy,” the article stated. The story threw open questions as to how such a large quantity of RDX was obtained and assembled in the first place.
Chidambaram posted a total of four tweets on the Pulwama attack, based on the cover story of THE WEEK.
Government is obliged to answer the charge by the WEEK and to explain the role of MAC.
