Coordinated Attacks in Mumbai, Not Good

Surely we shouldn't be speculating until we know the full facts of what happened?

They don't point out Pakistan in that report?

Apparently they are demanding the release of militants being held by India. This could explain why they want Brit and Amreicans as their lives are usually worth more.

'Britons' role' in attacks probed

Militants attacked the Indian city on Wednesday

UK officials have confirmed they are investigating reports of Britons being among those who carried out the attacks in Mumbai.

It follows a report on Indian news channel NDTV that there were British citizens among the militants.

British security sources have told the BBC they are asking their Indian counterparts for information.

But Foreign Secretary David Miliband said it was "too early to say" whether any of those involved were British.

'Debriefed and questioned'

According to UK officials, no hard evidence of British nationals being among the attackers had yet been provided by Indian authorities, BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said.

Mr Miliband said Britain would want to "follow up" the questioning of one suspected militant who had been seized by Indian officials.

"Obviously the Indian authorities are focusing on ending the incident before they are focusing on where it came from," he added.

"It's too early to say where the people came from."

One British national, Andreas Liveras, died and at least seven Britons were hurt in the attacks on the Indian city, which left at least 130 people dead.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said it was too soon to say whether Britons were involved, and Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said British authorities had "no knowledge" of any home-grown links.

The situation there seems totally chaotic 48 hours after the first attacks. How the hell have they not flushed out the terrorists in the taj?

Does no one think it Bizarre that these terroists are prepared to kill hundreds of innocent people and sacrifice their own lives, without making clear to the watching world why they are doing it. Whats the bloody point

Heard one of them on the telly yesterday when he phoned into a TV station. Was going on about some massacre in some place I've never heard off. Was questioning why they were being called terrorists but not the purportrators of the massacre. Said he would rather live like a lion for a day than suffer and be burned to death like the others. The clip is on Youtube.

Whats the bloody point

The point is wreck India's tourist industry and stir up trouble between Muslims and Hindus. Mumbai is the kind of go ahead place where everyone lives together that these people oppose.

So why attack the Jews and not some Hindu shrine?

Do you not think a Jewish center thrown into the mix amongst others in a widespread,
strategically planned attack such as this would be a legitimate target for these Throw backs?

I've no idea. The only thing I know is this was not amateur night involving a few headcases with bombs strapped to them. The bloke I heard speaking seemed lucid enough to indicate they weren't mindless fanatics but had objectives and were obviously very highly trained. I can't say I know much about the region but it seems like similar tactics the Hindus have used in the past e.g the Tamil Tigers and the train burnings a few years back which almost sparked a civil war.

Haven't got time right now to explain but I will when I get a chance.  Muslim fundies are the ones behind it, the grouping who has claimed responsibility... let's just say that they were nothing but a badge of convenience for others.

Tyrone's Own, if there is violence at an Old Firm game or between different version of the Othodox churches you cannot blame the Democrat president elect. The sub-continent's problems go back way beyond the history of the GOP-Pinko embarassment. 

Neither can you suggest that some weakness of Obama's will be to blame as this infers: "Get used to it".

But this comment is the hypocritical comment of the year:

Where exactly did I blame Obama?



With regards to Hypocrisy, It comes as no surprise that the same boys that wait on my every post are the very same
loud mouths that can hardly contain themselves when innocent people get caught up in a raid in Iraq or the like,
This thread would have been on page 15 by now had that been the case 
Should I ask you the same question..Have you nothing at all to say about these attacks or would you simply rather argue with me?
