Connecting the Dots on the Mumbai Attacks
From The Environmentalist:

There has been a great deal of reporting, speculation, finger pointing and denials on the Mumbai attacks, much of which has focused on trees (dots) instead of forests. After reading with empathy and horror of the death and destruction, the question remained, who was behind this and why?

The press has been referring to the Mumbai attacks as India's 9/11. Given the impact on India and the larger impact on both the global economy and the ongoing conflicts in South Asia, that seems an accurate assessment.

This article lists the different players and identifies, by name, the likeliest suspects.

Here's the link.

1. Very interesting
especially about the Tata family and their economic holdings. I knew Mumbai was home to the largest concentration of Zoroastrians left, but didn't realize that the Taj was among their holdings. I agree with the author of the article that a far larger game is being played here, and can see how distracting Pakistani forces will only help the Taliban and al Qaeda.
