News: Mumbai Update and the Possible Geopolitical Consequences

Filed under: India,Pakistan — Tags: , , , — Matt @ 12:59 PM

Some are saying it is Indian Mujahadeen, and the Deccan Muj. could be a front.  Still no real confirmation on who was responsible.

127 people killed(figure still being updated) 

three Americans have been injured(figure still being updated)

nine terrorists killed, one captured, one believed to be still fighting.(figure still being updated)

the terrorists came in by zodiac boats

fires still burning in hotels

Geopolitical assessment:  From what I can gather, the real fear here, is the reaction that India’s Congress will have to this latest attack.  The people will want blood, and everyone wants to put the blame on Pakistan for this.  So will India try to put the blame on Pakistan for this?  Or will they keep Pakistan out of this, and make this into an internal/local problem?  Politics could drive this towards a conflict with Pakistan, regardless if they were at fault or not.  Check this story out at Stratfor, and they talk about the same thing. –Head Jundi
