The train bombings in Bombay sure have the MO of A-Q.
In
Washington, a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity
because the events were still unfolding said the coordination of
Tuesday's attacks and the targeting of trains at peak travel times
match the
modus operandi of two Islamic groups active in India during
the last several years: Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Mohammad. The
U.S. government has designated both terrorist organizations and
considers them affiliates of al-Qaida. (HT from LGF

It is a tragedy and
a year ago we had the same in London. Also today the pictures and Video
of the two privates who were brutally slain in Iraq were posted on the
internet. I keep the
resolve that this is WAR and this is WHY we have to fight it. If we
don't fight them now were they are they will surely come get us where
WE are. And thanks to the NYT & LAT the terrorists might get that
chance. I pray for the victims and their families. They were everyday
people just going home from a day at the job. Just like the WTC folks
at the job on a normal September day.
Here is the latest pictures of the bombings in Bombay
here.*****Update:
200 dead, 700 injured. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh highlighted the achievements of this
city of 16 million, which staggered back to life despite attacks on the
commuter train network Tuesday that killed at least 200 people and
wounded more than 700.
"Your resilience and resolve will triumph over the evil designs of
the merchants of death and destruction," Singh said in a televised
speech. "Let me say again, no one can make India kneel. No one can come
in the path of our progress."
We stand with you. We will not tire, we will not falter, we will not fail. We must join forces to combat the terrorists. Western civilization depends on winning the war on terror. Life as we know it will cease to exist.
