Thread: Mumbai Attacks

For those who haven't been following the news, there have been a series of Terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. Gunmen have seized two hotels as well as various areas, taken hostages and killed over a hundred people. More is going on, and if you're interested, read more about it.

What do people think about these attacks. It's certainly a terrible incident to say the least. It's quite sobering, especially when you consider that other countries are on lists for attacks like this.

Hopefully this won't lead to conflict between India and Pakistan.

What are your thoughts?

My description of the events doesn't really do it justice. If anyone else has anything to add or correct, go ahead.

The craziest thing is, they can't track down the group that did it at all. The only lead they have is a group that Intelligence agencies have absolutely no knowledge about whatsoever.

It's as if a massive group of highly skilled insurgents just sprung up over night.

Maybe this attack isnt state sponsored like most of the others since they have yet to blame al-queda (the group created by the CIA and ISI)

I did see something on CNN today that says they may be linked to a British terrorist cell in that case i wouldnt be surprised if it was caused by the MI6.

Pay attention to what new policies and conflicts come out of this. Que Bono?

It's been announced that two Canadians have been killed.

I don't know, but what always bothers me is that in an event like this, it seems the only concern for a country, Canada included, is how many of their citizens is hurt/dead. It makes sense that people care about their fellow citizens, but the other 125+ humans killed don't seem to matter much here.
