Nov 26 Mumbai Attacks: Update

  1. When Martha Nussbaum rants against Hindu right, it takes a Bill Kristol to show her the light.
    Consider first an op-ed article in Sunday’s Los Angeles Times by Martha Nussbaum, a well-known professor of law and ethics at the University of Chicago. The article was headlined “Terrorism in India has many faces.” But one face that Nussbaum fails to mention specifically is that of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Islamic terror group originating in Pakistan that seems to have been centrally involved in the attack on Mumbai.[Op-Ed Columnist - Jihad's True Face - NYTimes.com]
  2. In San Francisco, Indians and Jews led a vigil against terrorism
    Mochkin was one of nearly 30 speakers at the rally, which drew some 300 people – mostly Indians and Jews, who carried signs reading “Democracies against terror” and chanted “Bharat Mata ki jai,” an Indian phrase meaning “Long live Mother India.” The organizations participating ranged from the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple to the Friends of India Society International.[Jews, Indians in S.F. protest terrorism]
  3. According to Times of India
    The United States has set the stage for punitive internationally-backed strikes by India against terrorist camps in Pakistan, if Islamabad does not act first to dismantle them, by rejecting President Zardari’s alibi that non-state actors were responsible for the last week’s carnage in Mumbai.

  4. Pragmatic writes about the link between ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba
    The blasts at Indian embassy in Kabul had also shown that the ISI was behind them, as shown by the US intelligence agencies. Many in this country do not tire of portraying Mumbai terror attack as a watershed in India’s history, whereas the real watershed should have been the Kabul blasts. Why didn’t we move against the ISI and Pakistani state then, when we had the proof?[Pragmatic: Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI « Indian National Interest]
