Terror in Mumbai

this is big and very, very tragic... i'm hoping it's not kashmiri militants... the last thing we need is an another outbreak in kashmir, particularly now that the u.s. is increasing arms sales to both india and pakistan...
Seven bombs hit Bombay's commuter rail network during rush hour Tuesday evening, killing 131 people and wounding more than 300 in what authorities called a well-coordinated terrorist attack. There was no immediate claim of responsibility in the bombings, which came in quick succession — a common tactic employed by Kashmiri militants.

India's major cities were put on high alert after the blasts. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called an emergency Cabinet meeting and said that "terrorists" were behind the attacks.

on the other hand, let's be brutally honest here... the massive u.s. defense industry feeds off of global conflicts and, the more there are, the more money can be made...
