NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The United States closed its consular office and the American Center in India's commercial hub Bombay Tuesday and warned its citizens to take maintain extra vigilance in view of a terror threat, a U.S. official said.
"The (U.S. diplomatic) message encourages American citizens in Mumbai (Bombay) consular areas to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase security," U.S. Embassy spokesman David Kennedy told Reuters.
Frightening scenario. India and Pakistan both have the bomb, both have tested it, and it was a short time ago when both had troops gathering at their mutual borders.

The Hindus are good people and, potentially, our most valuable allies against both Islam and China. They are slowly coming around and economic ties are outpacing political breakthroughs (think outsourcing).
India has strong ties to Britain (their former masters) and therefore Britain is another bridge from USA to India.
What India needs to overcome is its communist past--they allied with the old USSR against USA and Pakistan. This was backwards of what should have been--from today's perspective. Most Indian papers that I read are still hopelessly anti-USA (just like CNN).
