Mumbai attacks: Terrorists took cocaine to stay awake during assault

Officials said drug paraphernalia, including syringes, was recovered from the scene of the attacks.

The heavily built men, who had undergone training at a special marine camp established by the Lashkar-e-Taibat (LeT) terrorist group in Pakistan, had also used steroids to build a tougher physique.

"We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," said one official.

"There was also evidence of steroids, which isn't uncommon in terrorists.

"These men were all toned, suggesting they had been doing some heavy training for the attacks. This explains why they managed to battle the commandos for over 50 hours with no food or sleep."

One terrorist used the drugs to keep on fighting despite suffering a life-threatening injury.

These animals had so much faith in Muhammed that they had to dope themselves up to make the trip for their 72 virgins.

I'm sure it also made it harder for the security forces to take them out. Because even when they suffered a fatal injury their brain wouldn't know it.

Just a theory. Nothing whatsoever to back it up.

Sometimes those are the best answers or thoughts :-). Me thinks anyway. Good points. I think you are right. God gave us remorse and guilt and all those "Heck what am I doing here?' feelings for a reason. These drugs sort of by pass all those inconvenient hinderances to inhuman cruelty.

That LSD stuff is bull. Why are you so credulous? This is bad reporting in some form

Cocaine and meth yes to stay awake
Opiates yes to kill pain

I hope their 72 virgins all look like Rosie O’Donnell.

Now that is one heck of a crash. Satan is a busy man in hell these days. These terrorists most likely are having to wait in line for their punishments. Just a bit more of a punishment.

LSD in small doses is speed and a sensory enhancer from hell....

In larger doses it just makes you paranoid and useless.

You got that right. I read in the NRA magazine where two cops had to take down a killer on PCP. He killed the first cop. Got in a death struggle with the second.Now this guy had been hit twice by the frist cop. The second cop fired into the guys belly and he said; “OW that hurt” but it did not stop him. The cop fired again and broke his pelvis. That is the only way to take them down, break a bone. The cop left standing said walking there was so much blood on f that bedroom carpet that it was like walking out on wet sponge.

I don't know, but you sound like a person that knows what the heck you are talking about and have experience in the AQ handbook as mentioned regarding Fallujah. I'm gonna go with what you said.

I would love to read a book eventually regarding all these little details that define what it has been like fighting these evil demons. God bless all of our men and women battling these deadly freaks.

The Israilis did give the pals a working industry with millions of dollars in sales in the Gaza strip when they pulled out,(hothouse flowers with a huge market in Europe). Within a week the entire site was destroyed and scavenged for scrap. They don’t want civilization, they like living in the seventh century.

My bet is the LSD allegations will prove to be baseless.

They took stimulants like meth and cocaine

It is only through the search for good that one may discover all evil and it is only the few who persue.

The rest simply follow.

Good grief. You'd think they'd put some of this energy into bettering themselves and their culture.

What culture???

Then there's the tasering of Rodney King which appeared to have no effect. What was he on?
