U.S. Warned India in October of Potential Terror Attack NSA Now Tracking Captured Phones, U.S. Connections By RICHARD ESPOSITO, BRIAN ROSS and PIERRE THOMAS

December 1, 2008—

U.S. intelligence agencies warned their Indian counterparts in mid-October of a potential attack "from the sea against hotels and business centers in Mumbai," a U.S. intelligence official tells ABCNews.com.

A second government source say specific locations, including the Taj hotel, were listed in the U.S. warning.

One month later, Nov. 18, Indian intelligence also intercepted a satellite phone call to a number in Pakistan known to be used by a leader of the terror group, Lashkar e Taiba, believed responsible for the weekend attack, Indian intelligence officials say.

The Indian intercept also revealed a possible sea-borne attack, the officials say.

The chairman of the company that owns the hotel, Ratan Tata, told CNN that security was temporarily increased following a warning.

Tata told CNN Sunday that the enhanced measurers were later eased and, in any case, "could not have stopped what took place."

Since Friday, U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking the phones and SIM cards recovered by Indian authorities from the Mumbai terrorists leading to a "treasure trove" of leads in Pakistan and several possible connections to the United States, officials say.

Officials say one of the cell phone SIM cards may have been purchased in the United States but would not provide any more details because of the ongoing nature of the investigation.

I remember that, they found some of the men in Michigan, around labor day, and they were worried about the yearly walk over the bridge, and terrorists, because thousands of people are on the Mac bridge, but that was dis missed very quickly as I recall

I guess India had Gorelic put up a wall for them as well.

Like US has voting blocks ... hispanic (pro-illeagal immigration, blacks (pro-affirmative action etc etc) India has MUSLIM (i.e. terrorists ) voting block of 20 %

And in democracy you cater to your electorate..

Freepers already know how democracy works here in US they can easily elaborate and understand what's happening in Indian democracy..

Why track phones you have possession of, I don't know.

It could be they meant back-track. I think they can do that...

I just listened to an interview on Dateline Washington with Karma Small Bodman whose 2007 novel Checkmate predicted the events in Mumbai.

Bodman is a former Reagan assistant Nat'l Security adviser.

The intriguing point she made in her novel was that the terrorists' attacks were meant to cause a war between Pakistan and India. Now either she was prescient......or the terrorists read her book.

Cindy provided me a link to those incidents:

several possible connections to the United States, officials say. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Acorn, The Obama Campaign,Code Pink?

We’ve had about 40 Muslim men (Somali) disappear from Minneapolis, too. Makes one wonder if there is something much more significant going on.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Of course something is going on. The Odinga Orange Party is going to take over Kenya, with the help of those Somalis who disappeared from Minneapolis. Then its the Caliphate all the way from Yemen to Sudan.

Watch Kenya.

Watch for your Minneapolis neigbors in the crowds there. They will be carrying AK-47s and shooting unarmed women, children and men.

And guaranteed when they left, they were carrying a LOT of money raised from the US Muslim community.

Young Muslim men always go off to do the will of Allah. Didn't our president elect do the same, only in Pakistan?

A recent ABC report should be of concern to all Americans and to our elected leaders. It regards Shirwa Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen who is believed to have committed a suicide bombing in Somalia and – even more disturbing – may have been involved in the recruitment of young men of Somali descent here in the United States.

The news report further states that more than a dozen such men, perhaps as many as 40 and mostly in their 20s, have “disappeared.”

The phones have been tracked to the Obama campaign....

[Cementjungle]

They are not “monitoring” them, as the phones are in custody.

Besides, their dead owners really aren't making many calls with them any more.

“Yepper... reminds me of the dip congressman who publicized that we were tracking OBL’s sat phone... then OBL threw it away.”

I thought we could blame that idiotic government official named BILL CLINTON himself for telling OBL to turn off the SAT phone before a cruise missile eliminated his dialysis problems forever.
