Navy gives clean chit to MV Alpha
Mumbai: The Navy which intercepted and board a Vietnam-registered ship MV Alpha, has given the clean chit to the vessel after questioning the crew and checking their papers.

Television reports quoted officials of the Defence Ministry to state that the ship was intercepted and searched as per the international maritime laws. The papers were found in order and the ship was allowed to proceed on the Panama route.

Navy has intercepted and boarded the suspect MV Alpha, a Vietnamese registered ship, that is suspected to have dropped the terrorists off the coast of Mumbai.

The Navy’s Leander class frigate ‘Vindhyagiri’ and naval helicopters from the INS Kunjali were involved in pursuit of the merchant vessel.

What is the scale of that map?

We know that the terrorists stole at least one car during the raids.

i thought the Taj was cleared?

IBN reporting that the senior general on the ground in Mumbia is saying they have communication intercepts from the Narmi house and when asked if the evidence was pointing “across the border” (ie. Pakistan), he basically said that’s where all the evidence seems to be pointing.

Indian intelligence services reporting all gunmen caught thus far are Pakistani . . . this is going in the wrong direction . . .

Is there a better TV news source than IBN?

They are OK but a little annoying, like most talking heads.

Looks like the Lashkar-e-Toiba want to make India, and other countries in the area surrounding Pakistan, Muslim-ruled.

I think a few hundred million Hindus might have a word or two to say about that.

The expected direction.

Their preference to kill and kidnap Westerners made it fairly obvious, IMO.

I’m not sure where the train station is, but someone on one of the many news videos I’ve been watching surmised some terrorists may have come in by train. I believe the first attack was there??

Are any of the other attack sites along train routes?

Interesting. Thanks for the up-date.

Doesn’t tally with some of the earlier news on MV Alpha. but that’s what one has to live with. Fog-of-war.

The IBTV actually put a name on the fishing trawler that had been found abandoned and with a dead person aboard, but I couldn’t catch it.

Don’t know where this dude I’m following on Twitter is getting his info but he seems to be on top of things.

yes . . the expected the direction. Problem is if we continue down this path with the Indians looking like they are going to make a concerted push to officialy pin this on Pakistan . . . and with Pakistan currently in the fragmented state it is in . . . let’s just say, as bad as things are now, this will look like a Sunday picnic if this devolves into direct conflict bwtn India and Pakistan

Thanks, I’ll check.

On NDTV now, IBN was way too theatrical and CNN-ish.

The papers were found in order and the ship was allowed to proceed on the Panama route.

Does that mean that this ship suspected of having been the one that dropped the terrorists off in India is heading now to Panama?

So they questioned the crew, and they inspected the papers, and that was all good and proper, so they set them loose?

Did they do a thorough search of the vessel and all cargo containers on board for evidence of having been used by the terrorists or for any more "stowaways" on board?

Oh my.

Yes. And that’s when one would have wished that the US would have a tested and experienced president. But, alas - the electorate decided it was time for “hope and change”. Change there may be, but probably not what they hoped for.

If things develop fast enough maybe there will still be time for Bush/Cheney to act.

FWIW, the Twitter guy said about 20 minutes ag that hand grenades (then rockets?) were thrown at the fire trucks at the Taj, and they’ve pulled back.

Also that the news is blacked-out so that the National Security Guards (NSG) can do their work.

Just reported on the IBN that an abandoned fishing trawler has been recovered 5 nautical miles outside the Mombai harbor - a beheaded corpse found aboard.

Beheaded.

My first thought was the same.

I wonder how could they tell if that ship did not pick up and deliver these guys?

I think they should have been detained until this all settles down and all the live terrorists are questioned and everything is known.
