couple this with the earlier news about the speedboats supposedly being registered from Pakistan . . . not good

A trip by rubberized boat would have taken at least two days from Karachi. And they probably would have only traveled by night with no lights. I am more likely to believe the Islamic pirates or Pakistan extremists have a diesel sub at play here.

I think this raid was a provocation intended to trigger a war between India and Pakistan. And I’ll bet the Pakistani government will cooperate with India in finding out to whom those boats were registered.

It would be very surprising to find that they took the boats more than a few kilometers.

The boats were most likely launched from a secluded area and used to ferry people in so they could hit several sites from different directions. They used them for tactical advantage rather than pure transportation.

This is one elaborate attack.
