be drawn for the other leading economies. The
publication has created a lot of interest and significant
number of action took place to avert consequences of such
an attack.
After 12 year it is time to assess if time was not wasted
and whether our economy is better prepared to handle such a
calamity. Also are such attacks more probable?
