I work with some people in India (Delhi), it's just going on 11am over there and they're completely shook up about this. They think it has the potential to completely destabilise the whole country.

Fúcked up...

Looks like an attempt to deter foreign businesses from setting up call-centres etc by destabalising the country.

Islamist terrorists (if it is them, still not proven) want to make westerners feel unsafe everywhere! Hopefuly the Indians will be able to contain these groups.

ASTRACLUB

Its on channel 511 on sky box, NDTV24X7 is one of the main english news channel in India.
News came that the terrorist were well prepared and came in boat from Karachi (Pakistan), still not a clear on which group did it but by looking at planing and executing, sources are saying that it is Al Qaida operation,
Indian govt is making a high official meeting with British Inteligence and US on hotline, they might be planing strikes on terrorist camps running in Pakistan...
India has to retaliate to answer these terrorist that they cant attack westners in India..

Bad news 100+ killed including some brave ATS, heared that ATS (Anti terrorist Squad), NSG (National Security gards), Black Cat Comondo, Navy fighters, army and other layer of military doing joint operations, they are taking time to save hostages and trying best to save each and every hostage, still some Brits and Isrealies stucked as hostage

I always thought India was somewhat peaceful, as regards to terrorists. I didn't think I would ever see such an attack take place there.

India deals with terrorism on a frequent basis, we're only paying attention now because they've targeted westerners.

Mob violence and "terrorism" by Muslims, Hindus and Christians on each other. Also violence between Hindu castes. Then theres one or two sepratist groups. As has been pointed out, you hear of this because they've come after Westerners and its in the capital.

Oh I am not denying the fact that it happens, I just never hear of it and I have this image of India, you know? It's poxy how nations only intervene when "westerners" are attacked. I hate that crap.

I hope there isn't going to be another "invasion" of some country because of this, namely pakistan. I don't know too much about the politics of it all, but it stinks and makes me edgey

Unlike other countries that were invaded for no real reason, pakistan actually has WMD's.

Don't expect the US (or anyone, really) to invade in the name of truth, freedom and starbucks.

India would be a great place now for a super cheap holiday, The Yanks are particularly paranoid when it comes to canceling holidays during terror strikes. They would assume that Bombay was the whole of India.

Myself and the ex booked a two week trip to Egypt 1 week before 9/11. It happened and we were advised by family and friends not to go, we went two weeks later and had a ball. Cheap excursions, no queing, accommodation bumped up to 1st class with so many cancellations, tour operators were cutting each others troths for business.

True, so having WMD's will actually help keep your country safe? God forbid we ever find an arseload of oil underneath out wee island

See, tihs is probably a result of the recent American bombing campaign by the yanks in Pakistan.

As for the British being targetted, that would be because they are a part of the coalition of the willing. They were screwed the minute Bush and Blair touched willies.
You would think they would have learned that killing lots of innocent people only garners more support for terrorists, what with all the crap they had to put up with from the IRA.

FFS, they had only just reached a settlement with those ****ers and then they go and piss off another bunch of lunatics.

There's enough oil and gas off the West coast to keep this country going for the next 60 years. The government sold most of the contracts though.

They started off with the name Bombay, then went with Mumbai and finally comprimised with Bumbai.

There probably an Indian group, so I don't see how anyone could pin this on Pakistan, who are far to busy in there tribal region, to organise this sort of thing. There name even refers to a area in India (the Deccan), which I don't think is in Pakistan as well.

Well that solves your problem then. Don't bother with the vaccination, you'll be dead long before any illness gets you!

Seriously though, I assume your work has cancelled the trip?

Mumbai will probably be the safest place in the world for a few weeks after this mess is cleaned up.
I wouldn't be worried.

Don't worry. For the first while you're adjusting, you'll probably be safely on the crapper while anything goes on.

Meh. Ive read funnier. No offense Terry just giving you a balanced review but not your best work. I don't want you thinking everyone found it halarious and go off on a new comedic tangeant only to be let down by the reception of the final product.

Here's a timeline of attacks in India over the last few years:

CNN is providing live feed and news regarding the situation in mumbai at http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream1

Mumbai (earlier known as Bombay) is the financial hub of India. Its a soft target as people there are quite liberal and would have never dreamt of such a thing happening.

There have been several attacks on Mumbai, before this. So I find it hard to believe what your saying. The type of attack is certainly very different, but its still terrorism.

Look at the time line someone else posted above.

I agree that Mumbai has seen a lot of terror attacks. But they were all either religious conflicts or against Indians. But this is probably the first time something of this sort has happened specifically targetting the Brits,Americans and the Israelis. I was answering to the 'Why?' that someone had posted.
Its quite apparent that these lunatics like to target the areas where they can do maximum damage and get the most attention (i wonder what it achieves). Hence Mumbai.. its certainly got the attention from all over the globe and has impacted the economy.. (The Mumbai stock exchange suspended trading for the day.. first time in last three years)

The guys were also reported to be on about Kashmir as well btw. The details aren't exactly clear right now.
