This is the third terrorist attack this year in India- Jaipur, Bangalore and now Mumbai. Some people are frightened of democracy and the responsibility one needs to take with freedom. They would much rather live in the dark ages with no other prayer but violence. Its a shame on humankind. The demand of the hour is unity inspite of the collateral damage. I deeply condemn this abhorrent behaviour and wish the world leaders to actually take a stand and move towards global leadership and citizenship and actually come down strongly on the terrorists. After all we do know who they are. Would it be difficult to collectively eliminate these forces once and for all? Are there two ways to this stand?
I especially congratulate the fire brigade, the army, navy and police forces of India. I also am proud of the unspoken Indian heroes who actually helped.
Its pathetic that TV networks are trying to milk soundbytes, for all its worth.
UPDATE: Via http://Eenadu.net, a telugu news site. Some dropped satellite phones gathered from the fishing boats through which the terrorists came in have calls made to Karachi.

While initial reports from India suggested the Mumbai carnage was a localised attack by militant malcontents in India because of the “Deccan Mujaheddin” decoy that was used to claim responsibility, evidence cited by Indian army and security experts based on phone intercepts, nature of weaponry, mode of entry by sea etc., has quickly focused the attention on Pakistan.The statement by India’s normally cautious and restrained prime minister, Manmohan Singh, that groups based across the border, a thinly-disguised reference to Pakistan, has also galvanized the strategic and security community into examining Islamabad’s role in the region that has already been subjected to scrutiny in the past.
