Lets hope that Pakistan isn't behind this India attack

[bigdarryl]

that's will be VERY!!!!! BAD NEWS

[Deja Q]

1. It's a bit late for the October Surprise(tm), but it makes sense...

Pakistan and India are not friends...

Could be Al Quaeda too...

[Kajsa]

2. I don't think so.

The reports are that militant extremists
are behind the attacks. They don't reference
any country of origin.

It's very bad news.

:(

3. Even if they aren't there are those

in India who will find a way to blame them

[BunkerHill24]

4. it is utterly ridiculous to assume the Pakistani government are behind the attack

Whomever is behind this attack clearly wants to drive a wedge between India and Pakistan, imo.

5. Jesus man, leave your preconceptions elsewhere...

I dont think the world needs anymore story book / fantasy tom clancy scenarios when events are unfolding.

Deccan Mujahideen:

Mumbai Attacks Info

HuffPost | November 26, 2008 04:24 PM



Deccan Mujahideen, a terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility for today's Mumbai shootings and hostages. Little is known about the organization, but early reports have been trickling in over the internet.


The term itself is not very specific, and according to CNN may just be a generic term for radicals in the region. "Deccan" is an area of India and "Mujahideen" is the plural form of a term referring to a Muslim participating in a jihad.


Deccan Mujahideen also claimed responsibility for a series of bombings across India in September that killed at least 130 people.

7. I eat at an Indian resteraunt often..

and recently I was talking to the owner. Oddly enough he started talking about where he lived/grew up and it was an area right on the border of Pakistan. He said that his city/state Rajasthan, has been occupied before by Pakistan, the two countries do not get along.

This was a terrorist attack, but I am highly doubtful that it was Al- Quida

8. It's tragic.

At this point, there would seem to be more reason to believe it was a domestic attack, rather than one from an outside source.

9. Oh man, I never actually thought about that....

... that would not be good at all. I suspect that this was just an inside group, and not a group from Pakistan.

10. Pakistan would have nothing to gain by this

In a country as diverse and populous as India, any number of folks are capable of doing unproductive things.

11. Watching Erica Hill on CNN, looks like it might be local Indian terrorists with help from a radical

Pakistani group with ties to Al-Qaeda. Terrible tragedy.
