"They knew sooner or later they would have to battle the cops, so they chose sooner —much sooner. The objective in this was to kill so many cops that they would be shocked an frightened. Something they succeeded in, unfortunately."

that makes sense. I'm still scratching my head over numbers. Is it true that there were only TEN terrorists??

It looks as if there were only 11 or so killers.

Here is the one little thing that has me puzzled; if indeed the killers had state backing, why weren’t the killers they also armed AT LEAST with RPGs?

Indeed the Mi-17 helicopters that delivered the Indian Commandos were sometimes hovering for OVER FOUR MINUTES directly above the hotel rooftops before disgorging their troops —sitting ducks for professional terrorists.

The only reason I think they weren’t shot at AT LEAST by PRG’s was because the nasties simply didn’t have them.

And while I am ABSOLUTELY no Pakistan lover, this suggests to me that these guys more or less through this operation together with very little in the way of backing; you had some young, fit, intelligent kool-aid drinkers who went out to really kick some a$$, more or less after just a year or so of target practice and indoctrination.

But of course if Islamabad disappears in a bright white flash (from India), well, I’ll serve as the whole trumpet section, OK?
