US warned India of possible threat

A US official says India was warned about a possible threat at least a month before last week\'s Mumbai attacks.



According to the official, who was quoted in US media, India had been told of an apparent plot to launch an attack from the sea.



India\'s navy chief had earlier admitted that there had been systemic failures in the country\'s security and intelligence services.



At least 188 people are now known to have died in the coordinated attacks.



The allegations are likely to add to the growing public anger that the attacks were not prevented.
