Gunmen kill at least 78 in attacks across Mumbai

  1. Its possible that these attackers are Indian Muslims, but you need to understand that these terrorists need money, sophisticated weapons and training which is graciously provided by neighboring countries with malicious intent towards India. Its a known fact that Pakistan and Bangladesh (and Afghanistan until 9/11) are safe harbors for terrorists. US used to think its immune from such terrorism until 9/11 happened. US's Iraq war may have been a mistake, but its war in Afghanistan and nuclear armed Pakistan were essential for their own (and world's) safety. To what extent they were successful is debatable.

    To "sour grapes" traders and "hope they will be repeated" well wishers, grow up! I hope your trading earnings aren't as poor as your philosophy of life.

  2. So now it's the fault of Bush everytime a terror attack occurs in India? And while I have no idea if global terror is trending higher or lower (I'd guess lower the past 2 years) it's clear that terror in Israel is WAY down.

    Evidence Mumbai Attackers were Anglo-American Intel Operatives

    As a BBC report notes, at least some of the Mumbai attackers were not Indian and certainly not Muslim.

    Pappu Mishra, a cafe proprietor at the gothic Victorian Chattrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, described “two sprightly young men dressed in black” with AK47s who were “foreign looking, fair skinned.”

    Gaffar Abdul Amir, an Iraqi tourist from Baghdad, saw at least two men who started the firing outside the Leopold Cafe. “They did not look Indian, they looked foreign. One of them, I thought, had blonde hair. The other had a punkish hairstyle. They were neatly dressed,” Amir told the BBC.

    Other “men walked into the cafe, drank beer, settled their bills and walked out. Then they fished out guns from their bags and began firing.” Muslims do not drink alcohol, that is unless they are Muslims like Marwan Al-Shehhi and Mohamed Atta, who reportedly not only liked to drink but enjoyed lap dances by topless dancers as well before they supposedly hijacked planes and flew them into buildings.

    Even though these firsthand accounts indicate the attackers were white, drank alcohol and displayed the steely and professional reserve of trained military men, the emerging story carried by the corporate media blames the attacks on al-Qaeda and specifically Lashkar-e-Taiba, one Arab and the other Asian. “A terrorist group with training camps in Pakistan and strong ties with al-Qaeda as well as a history of mounting attacks in India yesterday became the chief suspect behind the atrocities,” reports the Times Online, pointing to Lashkar-e-Taiba.

    As the Times Online admits, Lashkar-e-Taiba is a creation of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI. It “receives considerable financial, material and other forms of assistance from the Pakistan government, routed primarily through the ISI. The ISI is the main source of LeT’s funding. Saudi Arabia also provides funds,” explains the South Asia Terrorism Portal. Lashkar-e-Taiba “also played a part in the ISI organized ‘Bosnian campaign against the Serbs,’ which was directed above the ISI by the CIA and British intelligence.”

    According to Andrew G. Marshall, the ISI “has long been referred to as Pakistan’s ’secret government’ or ’shadow state.’ It’s long-standing ties and reliance upon American and British intelligence have not let up, therefore actions taken by the ISI should be viewed in the context of being a Central Asian outpost of Anglo-American covert intelligence operations.”

    The presence of “foreign looking, fair skinned” commandos who calmly gunned down dozens of people after drinking a few beers indicates that the Mumbai attacks were likely the work of the Anglo-American covert intelligence operatives, not indigenous Indian Muslims or for that matter Arab al-Qaeda terrorists. The attacks prepare the ground for the break-up of Pakistan and the furtherance of destabilizing terrorism in the Middle East and Asia. The Mumbai attacks had little to do with India or the relationship between Muslim Pakistanis and Hindu Indians.

    “Pakistan’s position as a strategic focal point cannot be underestimated. It borders India, Afghanistan, China and Iran,” concludes Marshall. “Destabilizing and ultimately breaking Pakistan up into several countries or regions will naturally spread chaos and destabilization into neighboring countries. This is also true of Iraq on the other side of Iran, as the Anglo-American have undertaken, primarily through Iraq, a strategy of balkanizing the entire Middle East in a new imperial project.” (See Marshall’s Divide and Conquer: The Anglo-American Imperial Project.)

    It is no mistake, as well, that Barack Obama has called for action against Pakistan. “If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will,” Obama said last August.

    Regardless of who occupies the White House, the global elite are determined to continue their agenda of violence and murder in order to realize order through chaos. Obama and the Democrats will spend the next four years blaming George W. Bush for what the neocons have done while making sure the same destructive policies remain in effect. It is a shell game. George Bush and Barack Obama control nothing, they are little more than front men for the New World Order.

  4. Red Alert: Possible Geopolitical Consequences of the Mumbai Attacks

    Stratfor
    November 27, 2008

    Summary

    If the Nov. 26 attacks in Mumbai were carried out by Islamist militants as it appears, the Indian government will have little choice, politically speaking, but to blame them on Pakistan. That will in turn spark a crisis between the two nuclear rivals that will draw the United States into the fray.

    Analysis

    At this point the situation on the ground in Mumbai remains unclear following the militant attacks of Nov. 26. But in order to understand the geopolitical significance of what is going on, it is necessary to begin looking beyond this event at what will follow. Though the situation is still in motion, the likely consequences of the attack are less murky.

    We will begin by assuming that the attackers are Islamist militant groups operating in India, possibly with some level of outside support from Pakistan. We can also see quite clearly that this was a carefully planned, well-executed attack.

    Given this, the Indian government has two choices. First, it can simply say that the perpetrators are a domestic group. In that case, it will be held accountable for a failure of enormous proportions in security and law enforcement. It will be charged with being unable to protect the public. On the other hand, it can link the attack to an outside power: Pakistan. In that case it can hold a nation-state responsible for the attack, and can use the crisis atmosphere to strengthen the government’s internal position by invoking nationalism. Politically this is a much preferable outcome for the Indian government, and so it is the most likely course of action. This is not to say that there are no outside powers involved — simply that, regardless of the ground truth, the Indian government will claim there were.

    At last, the Jewish hostages have been killed in spite of the efforts of IDF to deliver them. The Indian policy of not talking to "terrorists" has been thoroughly discredited. The media is now reporting that 150 have died compared to only 70 yesterday some hours before the rescue operation. If the Indians negotiated, they might have ended this without much bloodshed by releasing a couple of prisoners.

  8. It is election time in India and one of the top corrupt politicians in the world are trying to run for cover. There have been 41 blasts so far in Taj, about 200 hostages still held. If someone goes into a bit detail it's easy to gather that there have been more than 300 deaths--- ofcourse including India's ATS(anti terrorist squad) chief.

    It's funny how GWB and Co. were too stooopid to plant WMDs in Iraq, but pulled off the greatest conspiracies known to man (9/11 and this terrorist attack). I'm proud to say they couldn't have done it without the well paid help of EliteTrader. ;)
