The CPI and CPI(M) today strongly condemned the serial bomb blasts in Patna, saying these "cowardly attacks" highlight the urgent need to strengthen intelligence against terror attacks.
"From initial report it seems to be a well organised attack which the Central and state intelligence agencies failed and could not find out," CPI said after the national executive meeting.
CPI has asked the NIA and other investigating agencies to conduct thorough time-bound investigation and bring the real culprits to book.
"These cowardly attacks once again highlight the urgent need to strengthen intelligence against terror attacks," CPI(M) Polit Bureau said in a statement here.
CPI(M) has urged the governments at the Centre and the state to coordinate to ensure the arrest of culprits.
