Mumbai Attacks

[R.A.W.]

india also confessed that some of the logistics and other planning was carried out in india....by homegrown indians.

Some of the attackers were indian too.

why would GoP be involved? They wouldnt gain from such an attack. Nor would any of the state institutions.


it's better to focus on better security measures.....and also understand that Kashmir issue is still an issue of contention. We have offered on several occasions to begin dialogue on this issue, despite what happened during the bollywood attacks. But it seems india is either unwilling, scared, or in denial about acknowledging the importance of such an initiative.

GOP can be involved on the account of following the policy of terrorism in the past. And about the gains attacking at such a place where majority are foreign nationals would give a very wrong message to the world where India would taken as the unsafe destination for business, tourism etc thus hampering the economy. India can be portrayed as a unsafe destination for the same as Pakistan is being projected in the western media.

As far as security flaw is concerned yes we accept it was a security flaw and right now you can find big guys with big guns at every location of importance within India. Security has been increased at all levels within India.

And I think you need more of security and it was much bigger intelligence failure because of number of blasts and terrorist attacks within Pakistan in past 1 year are far much more then what happened in India.

The topic has nothing to do with Kashmir. I can reply to that but it will be offtopic.

Regarding being scared Pakistan has gained nothing on the military grounds against India in past 62 years so there is no point of getting scared.

Policy of terrorism? Who do you work for? The Hindustan Times?

wrong message to the world where India would taken as the unsafe destination for business, tourism etc thus hampering the economy.

well there have been isolated incidents that would draw away tourists....such as the massacre of Christians in Orissa (including an australian priest). The molestation of tourists in Goa. Constant sabotage and bombings in 13 naxal affected states.

And as of recently, 200 villagers with sticks beating tourists and torching the Vedic Village

India can be portrayed as a unsafe destination for the same as Pakistan is being projected in the western media.

media has always been unfair to Pakistan. What happens in the tribal areas has little affect for what happens in the main cities --even though those have been targetted too at times.

But either way --- maybe it's a good thing. It's put pressure on this government of ours to get their acts together and spend less time on personal vendettas.

Security has been increased at all levels within India.

I hope so

And I think you need more of security and it was much bigger intelligence failure because of number of blasts and terrorist attacks within Pakistan in past 1 year are far much more then what happened in India.

we have thwarted many attacks on our soil since Rah e Rast campaign began. Just 2 days ago we busted a plot in which terrorists were trying to sabotage our oil facilities @ Karachi.


india is dealing with terrorists who use rifles and sticks. We (like Sri Lankans) dealing with suicide bombers. Once a suicide bomber is on the loose, it is difficult to stop them. That's why intelligence is very important --and in FATA the locals are cooperating with the Army in reporting suspicious peole and movements.

Regarding being scared Pakistan has gained nothing on the military grounds against India in past 62 years so there is no point of getting scared.

succesfully defending our lands against an enemy 3 times our size is our biggest gain.

The biggest gain is also war experience, and learning from past tactical planning/strategic mistakes.


It is comical to think that a few cocky indian generals thought their forces would be having "whisky" at Lahore Gymkhana club

perhaps instead they got intoxicated by the fumes of burning diesel as their mechanized armour was in flames at Chowinda/Silakot

JERUSALEM: Israel has warned that a Pakistan-based terror outfit affiliated to al-Qaida, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks, is planning
to carry out a string of terror attacks across India.

Israel's counter-terrorism bureau at the National Security Council (NSC) in a travel warning for Israeli tourists in India rated the threat as "imminent and concrete", putting special emphasis on the Jammu and Kashmir region.

"The terrorist group that carried out the serious Mumbai attack in India is planning to carry out a number of attacks across India, particularly against concentrations of Western or Israeli tourists," warned a statement from the counterterrorism unit.

The bureau has recommended Israelis currently in India to avoid crowded areas, especially tourist areas, which have no apparent armed security.

In view of potential terror attacks across the entire country, Israeli travellers have been advised to "take precautions and remain alert".

The warning comes at a time when the Chabad houses across India are planning numerous events for the celebration of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year. Last year's attacks in Mumbai had targeted a Chabad house, among several other targets, where six Israelis were killed.

India blames Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Taiba for the November attacks in which 10 gunmen killed over 180 people in a three-day rampage through Mumbai.

First the mumbai attack people were local jihadi groups. They had no link with Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda is an Arab terrorist organization. I feel its a baseless argument from Israel

The more India is cruel to Muslims and Kashmiries, the more chances of attack in India. So its not a big theory. India knows that India fought 4 big battels with its neighbour only for Kashmir.

The solution is only political not the terrorism acts of Indian Army in Kashmir.

I think India shld work & strengthen more on Intelligence and internal security.

Israeli citizens and Jewish people were also Prime Targets. Terrorist target them to show solidarity with Palestinian cause.

Israeli intelligence and concern for its citizens and Jewish people is Justified as quite a few of them were killed ruthlessly in Mumbai attacks .

Israel would naturally share any such intelligence with India we all know the source of so called stateless actors we should all strive to weed them out.

And article points to the organization which has links with Al-Queda not Al Queda itself.

Qaeda-backed LeT set for series of terror attacks in India, warns Israel’s NSC
September 18th, 2009 SindhToday

Tel Aviv, Sep.18 (ANI): Israel’s National Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Bureau has issued a terror warning for India, saying a Pakistani terror group, having close links with Al-Qaeda, is planning to carry out series of strikes across the country.

“A Pakistani terror organization affiliated with al-Qaida and responsible for the attacks in Mumbai last year is planning to carry out a string of attacks throughout the Indian subcontinent,” the notice issued by the bureau stated.

The warning said that though foreigners, especially from western countries could be targeted, and that Israelis and places where Israelis usually assemble in large numbers are on top of the terror outfit’s hit list.

The bureau rated the threat as ‘imminent and concrete’ and emphasized on the Jammu and Kashmir region, The Jerusalem Post reported.

This is probably the first time that such a warning has been issued regarding threat to Israelis in India, as India is considered a friendly country with thousands of Israelis living in different part of the nation. (ANI)

If its true then I'd have to wonder why Israel is only concerned about innocents dying in India as opposed to having no feelings for the people of kashmir being slaughtered by the Indian military machine.

Terrorists infiltrating ....across LOC should be killed....why only blame India army... Pakistan army is also doing the same thing in SWAT.....is your terrorist different from our terrorists....

And why should Israeli bother about what Pakistanis have to think.....
Meaningless rant...just to throw the thread off topic...

It's a travel advisory by Israel to its citizens.

Has any other country echoed the concerns? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
