Intelligence-sharing failures hampers war on terrorism
Article Abstract:
The 11 September 2001 attacks on the US might have focused the world's attention on the need to share intelligence, but countries are not giving importance to the exchange of information, despite measures being put in place and bodies being established. The treaties and organizations are not trusted for any exchange of high-grade intelligence and hence a real cooperation only exists on the basis of bilateral relationships between organizations that have traditions of working with each other.
