The audacity of terror!

India has seen terror before but not with this ferocity and brutality. The only time such violence was used against innocent civilians was when Nadir Shah slaughtered thousands of people in Delhi in March 1739. The second time civilians were targeted was during the partition of India, especially in West Bengal in 1947. Terror is being used as an instrument of war against a secular India. I am not persuaded that the State of Pakistan is directly involved in this particular invasion. They have nothing to gain from this audacity of terror and a lot to loose if actually implicated! The general Pakistani society is as soft as its Indian counterpart and is therefore a target of terror itself. It would be prudent for India to join forces with President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan and launch a joint operation against such organized terror. This is the time to seek formal extradition of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim at any cost. My hunch is that he is instrumental in providing the local logistical support in Bombay.
