Twenty four hours before the Mumbai attacks, Riz chaired a panel discussion of the city's young professionals. Tensions between Hindus and Muslims, the problems created by unemployment and underemployment, and the glaring gap between rich and poor were all hotly debated.
Pakistan has condemned what it describes as India's "war hysteria" this week, as tensions remain high after the Mumbai attacks. India has blamed a group called Lashkar-e-Taiba for the attacks. Jamat-ud-Dawah, a charity group, is alleged to be Lashkar's parent organisation. Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder went to Muridke to investigate.

Former ISI Chief: Mumbai And 9/11 Both Inside Jobs ISI: Pakistan Inter-Services Intelligence. Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com Monday, December 8, 2008 General Hamid Gul, the former head of the Pakistani ISI, told CNN yesterday that both the Mumbai attacks and 9/11 were inside jobs, much to the chagrin of host and CFR luminary Fareed Zakaria, who told viewers that Guls opinions were absolutely wrong and thoroughly discredited. When you look at the full spectrum of possibilities, who could have done it, then one knows that Samjhauta Express was a similar case, in which Pakistan ISI was accused. But it turned out that it was the militant Hindus themselves who had killed 68 passengers in that train, and that it was an inside job, said Gul. Now Colonel Srikant Purohit, who is a serving army officer, he has been caught in this particular case. And the whole thing has turned around. So, obviously, there is an inside job. The revelation that Mukhtar Ahmed, a counterinsurgency police officer who may have been on an undercover mission working for Indian authorities was arrested for illegally buying mobile phone cards used by the Mumbai gunmen, allied with the numerous intelligence warnings proving that the method, arrival and targets of attack were all known well in advance, proves Gul right in his assertion that the terrorists could not have achieved such carnage without help from people on the inside. * A d v e r t i s e m e n t * Asked by Zakaria, What is your hunch as to who did - who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks?, Gul responded, Well, I have been on record, and I said it is the Zionists or the neocons. They have done it. It was an inside job. And they wanted to go on the world conquerors. They were looking upon it as an opportunity window, when the Muslim world was lying prostrate. Russia was nowhere in sight. China was still not an economic giant that is has turned out to be. And they thought that this was a good time to go and fill those strategic areas, which are still lying without any American presence. And, of course, to control the energy tap of the world. Presently, it is the Middle East, and in future it is going to be Central Asia, added Gul. Gul told Zakaria that the evidence for 9/11 being planned by Osama Bin Laden and executed by Al-Qaeda has not emerged and that the events are still shrouded in mystery. A lot of people have a lot of misgivings about that. And its not only me. I think a lot of people in America would be thinking the same way. There are scientists, there are scholars, who have written articles on it, added Gul, calling for President elect Barack Obama to set up a new commission to investigate the attacks. Gul said the attacks were planned inside America by people with a dangerous agenda who have turned the world upside-down. Returning from a commercial break, Zakaria, editor of Newsweek, Council on Foreign Relations kingpin and also a Trilateral Commission board member, told his viewers, Some of General Guls views are simply false. There is a mountain of evidence about 9/11 that refutes his assertions, but Zakaria failed to cite any of it. Zakaria was then joined by counter-insurgency expert David Kilcullen who said that the Mumbai attacks bore all the hallmarks of a clandestine operation or a covert operation style activity, but when pressed he refused to directly implicate Pakistan in the attack. http://www.infowars.com/?p=6402 TY http://www.youtube.com/user/uruk

Police in Mumbai made a terrifying new find at one of the attack sites. And there are new reports that the terrorists used steroids and cocaine to stay awake during the 60 hour siege. Charlie D'Agata reports.
Terror struck Mumbai on November 26, 2008 and India's financial capital saw bloodbath, in what comes out to be India's 9/11. India's worst terrorist attack resulted in the death of 183 Civilians, including 22 foreigners. Recurring terror attacks have revealed the failure of the Indian Govt. to deal firmly with the issue of terrorism. Undoubtedly, India is increasingly becoming the soft target for terror and may be the focus for terror is shifting to India.
India's Muslim Council Trust says Muslims who attacked Mumbai, where the second biggest religion is Islam, were criminals, and should not be buried as muslims.

CCTV footage showing the moment when two of the Mumbai gunmen were captured. The footage shows them being beaten by angry locals. One was killed the other captured, wounded but alive. Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, 21, claimed the bloody three-day rampage was the work of just 10 Pakistani terrorists and an Indian gangster. He said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago, and were intended to kill 5000 people indiscriminately. He revealed that the terrorists, who were highly trained and crept into the Indian city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal hotel after executing British and US tourists and taking hostages. But the group underestimated the strength of the building's foundations. Their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise significantly once the hotel has been fully searched. Yesterday, Qasab chillingly went through details of Wednesday night's killing spree, which ended when he was cornered by police. He pretended to be dead, which probably saved his life. It was only when he was being transferred to hospital by ambulance that his accompanying officer noticed he was still breathing. Once inside Nair Hospital, Qasab, who suffered only minor injuries, told medical staff: "I do not want to die. Please put me on saline." As Indian commandos ended the bloody siege at the Taj yesterday by killing the last three Islamic gunmen, Kasav was dispassionately detailing the mayhem. He described how its mastermind briefed the group to "target whites, preferably Americans and British". Qasab described how he and an accomplice sprayed machine-gun fire around a busy railway station, killing dozens of people, before intending to move to the exclusive district of Malabar Hill, where they planned to "take VIPs hostage". Police say Qasab confessed to being a member of the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba, which has denied involvement in the carnage, and claimed he and the others were trained in the Muslim country. According to the account of Qasab's interrogation, the terrorists were trained over five months in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, then had a month off before the attacks. Qasab and the nine other terrorists, who communicated using BlackBerry mobiles, began their journey to Mumbai on a merchant vessel owned by Mumbai mobster Dawood Ibrahim. Ibrahim is on Forbes' list of the 10 most wanted criminals and is believed to hiding out in Karachi, Pakistan. He's also believed to have ties to Pakistan's intelligence agency, as well as to al-Qaida. Ibrahim fled India 15 years ago after being accused of bombings in Mumbai. He runs D-Company, a crime syndicate that reaps hundreds of millions of dollars each year from arms and drug smuggling. Once on board, the terrorists were each given eight hand-grenades, an AK-47 rifle, an automatic pistol and ammunition. And in anticipation of a long siege, they also carried dried fruit. Qasab told police that the group then hijacked a fishing trawler near the maritime boundary between Pakistan and India. Four of its crew are missing while the fifth has been found dead, apparently beheaded. On November 23, about 500km from Mumbai, the insurgents were intercepted by two coastguard officers. The group hoisted a white flag and allowed the men to board their boat. According to Qasab, one of the militants then attacked one of the officers, slitting his throat and throwing him overboard. The other man was forced to help the group reach their destination before being executed near Mumbai. When they reached the city, the two groups split up. Four men went to to the Taj hotel, two to the Jewish centre of Nariman House, Qasab and another man set off by taxi towards the railway station, and two headed for the Leopold restaurant. Kasav told investigators they continued their killing spree by attacking a petrol station and blowing up a taxi. "I have done right,' he told police. "I have no regrets."
