blueridge says: This is a very strange, even suspicious, account from a credentialed eye witness journalist. Then next we find out that The Taj Mahal Hotel had received previous warning: The Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India, temporarily increased security after being warned of a possible terrorist attack, the chairman of the company that owns the hotel said Saturday.And don't miss this in the manager's account, their "security" did not include guarding the back door! Why not? However, Tata said the attackers did not enter through the entrance that has a metal detector. Instead, they came in a back entrance, he said...."They knew what they were doing, and they did not go through the front. All of our arrangements are in the front," he said.Inside knowledge? Inside help? Would any sane manager (in a city previously having trains bombed in 2006) be so lax, at an international hotel? Remember also the now famous video that shows a allegedly hijacked police vehicle go down the street with terrorists firing from it. This reminds one that other terrorist attacks involved "terrorism drills" at the same time in progress (e.g. 9/11 war games, 7/7 subway drill), that suddenly "go live", and become real. This might account for police not firing back, if they thought it was a "drill" (no live ammo), that suddenly involved live fire, from someone else. Another key article breaking here: Pointed intelligence warnings preceded attacks Weaknesses in police infrastructure facilitated the attack, government sources say 30 Nov 2008 India’s intelligence services had delivered at least three precise warnings that a major terrorist attack on Mumbai was imminent, highly-placed government sources have told The Hindu. However, the restrictions were lifted a week before the attacks, after businesses and residents complained of inconvenience. “We also removed the additional security,” a police source said, “because our manpower was stretched to the limit and the personnel we had did not, in any case, have the specially-trained personnel needed to avert a suicide-squad attack.”This is the overwhelming advantage that suicide attackers have. They are planning to die. You have to take many notions of the popular criminal theory and discard them. Motives in the traditional sense do not apply. Kidnappings are to fund THIS kind of attack. People get weary of being on alert. T... Those clips about business inconvenience is total bull. India's Intelligence warned three times! They let it happen...or thought it a mere drill. The terrorist captured is not willing to die, but is pleading for his life. I see no rational motive or bargaining for terms, and the so-called "group claiming responsibility" appears feigned, a group of no prior existence, making no demands. This is incredulous and suspicious, in particular because their are parties that want war between India and Pakistan, including the U.S. and Great Britain, for "regime change". They are both on "The Pentagon's New Map" for such and [url=http://ww... "There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything"Explain this mystery of police both warned and on "heightened alert"--along with not guarding the back door at the Hotel, and slow response! This reads like a stand down by police! Now this comes out today, from ABC, which confirms in essence that India and the Taj Hotel did not take significant action and had foreknowledge: U.S. intelligence agencies warned their Indian counterparts in mid-October of a potential attack "from the sea against hotels and business centers in Mumbai," a U.S. intelligence official tells ABCNews.com.How does anyone account for their complete inaction, and/or why did this information not come out 2 days ago, but only now? Did they stand down? Must hear this: Excellent round-table with good analysis, by the first guest in particular, that questions the "9/11" status (and what that is intended to mean) and who was behind the Mumbai attacks, at Democracy Now video (here), Begin at the 16:00 minute mark. A growing list of Mumbai Terror Oddities here by CLG. Add this from New York Daily News, the attackers were not only hired mercenaries, but "drugged" (patsies?) 03 Dec 2008 "We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," one official told London newspaper the Telegraph. Syringes and other drug paraphernalia were found on the scene of the horrific crimes. The drugs help explain how the 10 young men were able to fight hundreds of Indian commandos for 50 hours without stopping to eat or sleep.Definitely not the marks of Islamic fundamentalists. |
