That was probably intentional. The way the US government tries to cover up and hide terrorist acts, pretending they didn’t happen or that they were something else, causes the terrorists to plan bigger and more spectacular attacks, knowing they must exceed a certain level of carnage to attract the attention of the world.
That said, I think the ball is in the Indians’ court right now. We should certainly back them up with whatever they need, but I’m waiting for the tanks to roll. I think they will, or the Indian government will fall and THEN they’ll roll.
Or I could be wrong, and we’ll wait for an even more spectacular attack, maybe in the US itself.
>>maybe in the US itself.
Absolutely. An Indian Airlines flight from Kathmandu was hijacked in 1999, the MO to take over the plane being duplicated later in the USA.
>probably intentional.
Yes. It worked. The attacks were big news.
