Sounds like the work of Dawood Ibrahim.

I think someone needs to take "Mushie" to the woodshed.

It looks like night has just fallen in that area. Could this be a "Night of Determination" thing?

Welcome to the party, India.

It's going to be nice to see Indian military kicking islamofascist ass.

It wouldn't surprise me.

Musharraf has the right inclinations, but just doesn't seem to be able to follow through.

The IRI on the other hand...

Well, let me put it this way.

Ahmadinejad is one of the least insane people in their government.

*shudder*

I think they're warming up for the end of Ramadamadingdong.

They seem to like to mark significant religious holidays with significant gore.

One third of all the terror attacks in the world happen in India. This is NOT new to them.

Wow. Wasn't there a warning not too long ago about attacks planned for India?
