Pakistan better round up their terrorist a bit faster or India may do it for them.

[Purrcival]

Hoping and praying that they'll be safe.

[Frank_Discussion]

"Indian gov't beginning to issue arrests for those in group that was responsible to a previous attack."

Yay. Sorta.

They will not harm America for some time to come now that they have seen how violently President George Bush is prepared to retaliate. Against Israel they came to nought. So they might infiltrate India," said a source. "This is almost certain to happen."

Interesting.

Ray Kelly in NYC steps up security after Mumbai attacks.

[Hoboto]

Horrible.

Israel fighting with Gaza terrorists. Iran rapidly building nukes. North Korea threatening with their missles. And now we'll see a strong reaction from India towards Pakistan.

As folks have been saying for years. WWIII is here. And it's only going to get worse.

Can we expect gas prices to artifically shoot up 50 cents a barrel now too?

It's the end of the world as we know it....and I feel fine...."

[livius]

I am not surprised that India is a target. I think we discussed this on FR at some point, and many people seemed to feel that India, particularly as it become more successful and strenghthened its ties with the US, was going to be in the cross-hairs of the Islamists.

[SeaBiscuit]

God help us all.. The root of all this evil and murder of innocents around the world is Islam.. Muslim terrorists. I wonder when the SANE combined world will grow tired of living in terror and angry enough to root them out from every dark crevice where they hide and plot.

[sully777]

And FOX is FINALLY showing a banner on their web-site. Sheesh, talk about the caboose.

Fox News...I mean Fox Schmooze is impotent. I can access more information on the Free Republic in one minute than they could manage in a 48 hour news cycle.

[myprecious]

So lots of problems here in Mumbai .. I cant take it any more

Hang in there. Do not let these terrorists beat you in your spirit. Pick up your textbooks and study instead of worrying. You are going to make something of yourself, then go on to help your family and homeland. Be strong!

[AliVeritas]

Oh this one... who was designated as a terrorist supporter in October 2001 by us when we 'followed the money'? The NYTs will not like this... not at all.

U.S. DESIGNATES DAWOOD IBRAHIM AS TERRORIST SUPPORTER


Indian Crime Lord has Assisted Al Qaida and Supported Other Terrorists in India



WASHINGTON – The U.S. Treasury Department today announced that it is designating Dawood Ibrahim as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224 and will be requesting that the United Nations list him as well. Today’s designation freezes any assets belonging to Ibrahim within the U.S. and prohibits transactions with U.S. nationals. The UN listing will require that all UN Member States take similar actions.



"This designation signals our commitment to identifying and attacking the financial ties between the criminal underworld and terrorism,” stated Juan Zarate, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes. “We are calling on the international community to stop the flow of dirty money that kills. For the Ibrahim syndicate, the business of terrorism forms part of their larger criminal enterprise, which must be dismantled."



Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian crime lord, has found common cause with Al Qaida, sharing his smuggling routes with the terror syndicate and funding attacks by Islamic extremists aimed at destabilizing the Indian government. He is wanted in India for the 1993 Bombay Exchange bombings and is known to have financed the activities of Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (Army of the Righteous), a group designated by the United States in October 2001 and banned by the Pakistani Government -- who also froze their assets -- in January 2002.



With today’s designation, the U.S. and our international partners have designated 322 individuals and organizations as terrorists and terrorist supporters and have frozen over $136.8 million in terrorist assets.



A fact sheet providing more details on today’s designation is attached.

[SE Mom]

You stay safe...our prayers are with India today.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Islamic savages. They are a cancer on the world.

[Heartofsong83]

Honestly, I don't think significant US ties are needed for a country to be in the crosshairs of Islamic extremists. Short of being on the side of terrorists completely, they still will be a target. Don't be surprised to see Al Qaeda attack France, for instance, in the near future...

[mewzilla]

There is a Kashmire organization that has been causing trouble for a long time to gain independence.

According to MSNBC, those are militants...

[Lazamataz]

I'm quite convinced that Islam must be completely eradicated from the globe, like a cancer.

I'm willing to die to help accomplish it.

[Big Bad Bob]

Afternoon,

Bob here in the Garden Of England,

Firstly may I offer my heartfelt sympathy with the people of Mumbai and with the people of India in general.

Secondly, let us not presume that this is Al-Qaeda related, the last major attack in Mumbai was some 13 years ago on the Stock Exchange which was traced back to criminal elements within Mumbai.

Let's see what the investigation brings out and take it from there.

Can't you try to reach someone by phone to confirm whether or not your college will be open tomorrow? Be strong and stay safe.
