Judge accepts Mumbai gunman's confession

Taimur: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/07/mumbai-terrorism-india-pakistan1. Is this proof enough?

hahaha .. oh God .. look at another drama ... Looks like Indian politicians and media are getting training from Bollywood Actors... or they are much influenced by Bollywood ... Even experts are criticizing the role of Indian media during all this incident....

Everybody is aware that the Pakistani Army and intelligence agencies are not controlled by the Pakistani civilian government.

The atrocities in Mumbai committed by 10 terrorists were solely in the name of those who committed them and not in the name of Islam, as so perfidiously portrayed by the Indian and Western media. What possible benefit could Pakistan have achieved or would achieve out of this barbarity when thousands of its own people have been killed and murdered by the same terrorists? As a consequence of terrorism, Pakistan's economy is in ruin and the country is going down the drain politically, financially and socially. Indian intelligence services had every possible information that a terrorist attack on Mumbai was imminent and even the CIA warned them of the forthcoming threat, yet the central and Maharashtra government allowed the horrendous crime to happen. Either it was sheer incompetence or a deliberate attempt to ignore the intelligence to manipulate the aftermath for political gains before the general election.

And why is it that Mumbai is always a "soft target" for these terrorists? The citizens of Mumbai are getting rebellious and disgruntled with the provincial and central government and still mopping up the blood on their streets, railway stations and counting the corpses in their hotels. So the Indian government has a motive to blame Pakistan without any concrete evidence, apart from what is coming out of the mouth of the captured terrorist? Is the word of a criminal and a terrorist to be believed and put India on a war footing, rather than trusting the Pakistan government? Indian politicians and their parties are itching to start a war against Pakistan to win the next general election. This is real: India and Pakistan have gone to war three times since the 1947 partition. The prospect of another war in the sub-continent is horrendous and chilling to imagine with the mushroom clouds of death and destruction dwarfing the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Even a petty thief would not have left so manyt finger prints behind than the Indians allege ISI left sending these terrorists by sea to Mumbai. Who are you kidding or fooling Mr Manmohan Singh? Probably, some silly Indian politicians trying to win some votes in the next general election by putting two nuclear powers on a war footings. Indians blame Pakistan's ISI for the involvement in Mumbai attacks and trying to fool the world into believing that Pakistan's intelligence agency is even worse than theirs

Congratulations to Zardari for his assurance. He is heading a political government and its time to prove it's sincerity. Terrorism can not be eliminated by a single country with isolated actions. The countries in the region should work together make it No. 1 issue that destabilizes the countries. The trained people who fought in the Afgan war are not scatered in all countries particularly in the region. The law enforcing bodies in respective countries should locate them and track their activities and keep them under watch. These people did not fight their own war, they were mercenaries and again now they are being used by interested quarters.It has nothing to do with religion. No religion permits killing of innocent people. Lets wait and see how countries in the region co-operate with each other to resolve the thorny issue.

This article is bull**it! India is an efficient and secured country.

I am sure the number of peace loving people will outnumber the terrorists or trouble mongers. Can we not unite to make sure that the Mumbai incident is the last? Unfortuantely the overwhelming number is helpless in the face of few people who can make the difference. We have seen peace marches but did they bring any result?The world leaders and the leaders of all religions should sit together to discuss the situation facing the world and ways to bring peace to all the trouble spots.There will be difference in opinion but fighting is no solution.Once it is done. Only a united stand can help us. .

Its not important to know at this point of time, how the terrorists have come to Mumbai? Were they Pakistani, home grown or other nationalilites? It has been established that it was a lapse on the part of Indian Security Aparatus. It is heartening to know from the media about a timely call by Indian Islamic clerics to not to bury the dead terrorists in the soil of India, which they have dishonored. As far as we are aware all religion asks its followers to treat their homeland as sacred but the renegedes have lost their senses and are being used as tools. None of the religions sanctions killing of innocent people. It is high time the religious leaders of Muslims and OIC to come out openly to condemn the massacre in Mumbai and tell the world if this sort of action is permitted? The world deserve to know what is their stand on this matter and the opinion of Islamic leaders on such activity?

We are sitting duck and mute spectators. We have a bunchof useless politician who wants to seen on the TV and at this time of crisis.

India Government should STOP supporting and traiining secretly to those Nationalist Terrorist againt the Will of Freedom people and democracy ,by Stopping to incites fighting for Kashmir nationalist separatist up-north againt its neighbour Pakistan and and south Tamil Tiger againt Sri Lanka .Its understandable, why India frustation of both situations, the Pakistan Independence in 1947 and "Ceylon" Sri Lanka independence that , was once belongs to India territory but to resort through Terrorist Resort ideology is not an answer to the World stability.

Pakistan cannot take such a fool risks at this time. Pakistan is already surrounded by extremists and Pakistanis are fighting against them and its Pakis who are paying for it too. Why it should be blamed? There are many other directions you can find like elections are expected in India... Killings of Himant (investigating Maliagaon in which an Indian Army Colonel is involved in blasts in Smjhota Express and remember that time also Pakistan was blamed) ... Pakistan is fighting against terrorists but India has them in its Govt Structure..It was really said .. all killed were humans (regardless of their religions) .. all are our brothers ...
Pakistanis are already crying for their beloved ones... After 9/11... all has changed ... It was BUSH ....

Unfortunately too many muslims will be tagged as being a terrorist from this latest attack on innocent civilians. It is clear that these individuals were both highly motivated and very well trained. But still dressing in civilian clothes and professing that they are students to me smacks of cowardice. If it is a quasi military operation say upon question who they are and what they intend to do. I personally do not care for people who hide in the guise of being an innocent civilian or student. All captured should after interrogation be put to death and in a prolonged way like the poor innocents that they slaughtered. Their agenda is to upset the peace between Pakistan and India. Strange way to meet Allah in my opinion. Simple killers should go to that Neverland to me that is Dante or Hell. Befitting of simple murderers.....

These Muslim terrorists are supported by their home countries. Immediately after 9/11 there were tens of thousands of Muslims celebrating in the streets of Gaza, Islamabad and Mogadishu. These people hate the West, our government, our people, our friends and our culture. Countries that tolerate this group of people and/or give these countries foreign aid make the problem worse.

A strong but non-violent protective response to build a shield around prospective targets, coupled with a complete exploration of the Muslim's actual grievances would alleviate both the reach of terrorism and the seeding ground of malcontent in which they harvest their recruits.

I hope that India and the world can follow some kind of coordinated plan in this direction.

And my heart goes out to the people in Mumbai. It is so sad.
