Terrorism In India

 Coolness: 146125 | Indian security forces have been exchanging fire with gunmen holding dozens of hostages in two luxury hotels in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay).
Troops surrounded the premises shortly after armed men carried out a series of co-ordinated attacks across the city, killing 101 people and injuring 287. The hotels were among several locations in the main tourist and business district targeted late on Wednesday. Police say four suspected terrorists have been killed and nine arrested. The situation is still volatile in two of the most high-profile targets of Wednesday's attacks - the Taj Mahal Palace and Oberoi Trident hotels, where armed men are believed to be holding about 40 hostages. There are reports of intermittent exchange of fire between security forces and the assailants barricaded inside both hotels. Correspondents say security personnel have so far not stormed the premises perhaps for fear of endangering the lives of hostages, some of whom could be Westerners. Attacks leave India reeling Witnesses tell of violence In pictures: Mumbai attacks Are you in the area? The city's main commuter train station, a hospital, and a restaurant popular with tourists were among at least seven locations caught up in the violence on Wednesday. Assaillants used grenades and automatic weapons. Police say the dead include six foreigners, 14 police officers and 81 Indian nationals. Eyewitness reports suggest the attackers singled out British and American passport holders staying at the hotels. If the reports are true, our security correspondent Frank Gardner says it implies an Islamist motive - attacks inspired or co-ordinated by al-Qaeda. A claim of responsibility has been made by a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen. Our correspondent says it could be a hoax or assumed name for another group. In other developments: • Fire crews evacuated people from the upper floors of the Taj Mahal Palace, where a grenade attack caused a blaze • Israel says it is concerned for the safety of its citizens in Mumbai, as a rabbi and his family are feared captured by gunmen • The head of Mumbai's anti-terrorism unit and two other senior officers are among those killed, officials say • The White House held a meeting of top intelligence and counter-terrorism officials, and pledges to help the Indian government • India's Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange markets are closed, as the authorities urge local people to stay at home • There are unconfirmed reports that five gunmen have taken hostages in an office block in the financial district of Mumbai.

 Coolness: 202150 | I think this was more of a political move than a religious one, it wasn't Indian Muslims (who number over 150 million) who did it, they originated from Pakistan. |

| Coolness: 151385 | I would guess that NATO would be behind them.
Meh... If that ever happens, I wonder what role Canada would play. |

| Coolness: 340590 | Canada would probably not get involved given the current state of affairs in the Canadian government.
The current government is poised to be reactionary, it can't join into wars that we're not directly involved in. Harper wouldn't be that stupid. |

| Coolness: 151385 | Seriously. Considering the outcry to pull Canadian troops out of Afghanistan as it is, joining a NATO mission into Pakistan would not bode well with Canadian voters. |

| Coolness: 146125 | they're gonna pull them out of afganistan AND INTO pakistan ...lol
it's impossible to say who the goverenment is going to be when it happens. Harper did want to go into iraq, although it's interesting to note that he admitted that it would have been a huge mstake durring the leaders debate. as far as canada participating i guess that all depends on the 'theater' that is used to justify the military action... |

| Coolness: 151385 | "Taliban Rebels based in Pakistan's tribal regions attack Canadian troops!"
Nah, I just can't see Canada going to war again, unless it's something huge. |
