India is capable of facing any threat to its security coming from any quarter, Defence Minister A K Antony today said in wake of a warning from a top Al-Qaeda commander.
"One thing I can tell you. Whatever threat coming from any quarter, our armed forces are always ready to face them," Antony said on the sidelines of a function here.
He was replying to a question on reports about a top Al-Qaeda commander warning India of more Mumbai-style terror strikes if it tried to attack Pakistan.
Antony, however, said he had not come across this particular report.
Commenting on Pakistan's demand for more information from India to complete its probe into the Mumbai terror attack, Antony said he had nothing more to add than what External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee had said on the matter
"My senior colleague Mukherjee had already made India's position clear on the matter. He had already explained this categorically. We are one government, one voice," he added.
