New

Terrorists
could use nuclear weapons. An independent commission has concluded that
terrorists will most likely carry out an attack with biological, nuclear or
other unconventional weapons somewhere in the world in the next five years
unless the United States and its allies act urgently to prevent that. (www.deccanherald.com)

mail analysis supports claim of Lashkar authorship. Analysts at India’s
Research and Analysis Wing have been able to establish that the e-mail account
used to issue the document was set up from a Pakistan-based computer shortly
before the attacks began. (www.Hindu.com)

army move to border? Private channel Geo News reported that Pakistan's military
and intelligence sources told a select group of journalists today that NATO and
American command had been told that Islamabad would be forced to relocate its
military from the borders with Afghanistan if there is escalation in tension
with India, where nearly 200 people were killed in the multiple terror attacks
on the Indian financial capital. (http://publication.samachar.com/)
Vedic
Verses for 12/1/08. The attendant searched for him and returned without finding
him. Then the king said to him: Listen, where a knower of Brahman is to searched
for, look for him there. Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, I - The Story of
Janasruti and Raikva, 7. After proper search the attendant came upon a person
who, lying underneath his cart, was scratching an itch. Humbly he took his seat
near him and said: Revered Sir, are you Raikva, the man with the cart? Oh yes, I
am he, he answered. Then the attendant returned, saying to himself: I have found
him out. (Kauai_Hindu_Monastery@jnanadana.com)
Tirukural
- Chapter 82: Harmful Friendship. What does it matter if one gains or loses the
friendship of manipulators who befriend to gain and otherwise forsake? (Kauai_Hindu_Monastery@jnanadana.com

But
what about the Prime Minister? The pall of gloom and shame that enveloped the
nation in the immediate aftermath of the audacious terrorist attack on Mumbai
last week has since given way to unprecedented anger across the country over the
deliberate and criminal neglect of national security by the United Progressive
Alliance. Unable to cope with the heat, the coalition has quickly dumped Home
Minister Shivraj Patil and is promising to slay a few more scapegoats at the
altar of public opinion in the hope that these ministerial and bureaucratic
'executions' will douse public wrath. (A Surya Prakash) (http://dailypioneer.com/)
UK
spy agencies launch probe into Mumbai terror attacks. They want to know
precisely the links they have with Pakistan-based militant groups and any
potential new threat to British targets abroad as well as in the UK. (http://dailypioneer.com)

shenanigans on terror-A shame for India. The disservice the Maharashtra
Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has done to India’s fight against terrorism is
immense. It has proved itself a rogue agency, violating every tenet of civilised
crime investigation, and a willing pawn in the hands of cynical politicians
manoeuvring to wreak vendetta on ideological rivals for their short-sighted and
petty vote bank punting. The Maharashtra administration under the Congress-NCP
regime has put to shame even the hated, despised Mughals and the British, who
mercilessly subjugated this land. (By R Balashankar)
Wanted:
A national leader. Today’s leaders, so-called, have reduced Great India into a
set of linguistic principality. Prime Ministers are no longer in touch with the
vast public. There is no emotional contact between the leader and the led.
Audiences get paid to attend public meetings. (By M.V. Kamath)
Mumbai
26/11: Still Politically Incorrect! Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in response
to the 11 July 2006 train blasts in Mumbai, had stated; “No-one can make India
kneel. The wheels of our economy will move on. India will continue to walk tall,
and with confidence. Mumbai stands tall once again as the symbol of a united
India. An inclusive India. We will win this war against terror. Nothing will
break our resolve.” No wonder Major Unnikrishnan’s father prefers suicide to
accepting condolence visits from any politician. (G.C.A: Many of us had great
esteem for the Dr. Manmohan Singh when he took over as Prime Minister. Alas ! He
has proved to be a Great Failure. He has shown symptoms of not only meaningless
tall talk, but also of callousness and even encouragement of Terrorism in India.
Who could expect such a thing from him?) (http://southasiaanalysis.org/)

repeated in India and elsewhere too. There is a tendency to relax; Islamist
Jihad is not yet properly understood, due to lack of intellectual effort

second banana. The first objective is to overthrow those Muslim governments and
replace them with Sharia states. The next objective is to take the jihad to the
West more energetically than that is being done now. [...] Ayman al-Zawahiri
says in an audio recording posted Monday on an Islamic Web site that Indonesia
and other governments in the Islamic world are protecting the interests of the
Crusaders and the Jews and preventing Muslims from joining the jihad against
them. (http://jihadwatch.org)

warned India about possible Mumbai attack (http://edition.cnn.com) (G.C.A: All
indications suggest that Congress Govt. at the Centre and State levels was
extremely callous in dealing with Terrorism from outside and from inside the
country.)
