This is a great article by the Times of India. I agree, Pakistan is the issue here. It’s a Jihadi hot bed and the ISI supports Al-Qaeda. The problem is Pakistan’s nukes. If they didn’t have Nukes, India would clean up that hell hole.
All roads from the Mumbai terror attacks seem to lead to Pakistan. The only captured terrorist is a Pakistani. He has reportedly revealed that he, along with a large number of heavily armed comrades, also Pakistanis, sailed from Karachi and hijacked an Indian trawler, the Kuber. The trawler has been found, with its crew missing, five miles from the Mumbai seashore. Only the body of their skipper, beheaded al-Qaeda style, was on board.
The pattern of the Mumbai attacks is fundamentally different from preceding terror attacks on Indian soil. Earlier attacks had seen crude explosive devices tacked on to bicycles or motorcycles and left in public places, triggered by timers or mobile phones. The Mumbai terrorists, however, were armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles, hand grenades and huge quantities of sophisticated explosives. They were trained in sustained combat and targeted not just Indians but foreigners as well, suggesting animus against India joined with a wider anti-western agenda. We can’t overlook the evidence anymore. This is far beyond the scope of indigenous Indian groups.
India has every right to retaliate. Of course the Islamic sympathizers in our Government and media will call for restraint. I hope India does what it has to do.
