They chose them because they have had a bad relationship in the past and are in financial trouble. Islam were the one responsible for most of the terroristic uprising. I dont think it will have much effect on the United States.
ReplyDelete1.)It is believed it was set back Muslim-Jewish relations, also they chose Chabad House to avenge the suffering of the Palestinians
ReplyDelete2.)the recent terrorist attacks by Pakistan nationals on the financial city of Mumbai leaving 172 people dead.
3.)It doesn't really have anything to do with the United States for we did not attack them.
Some minister resigned and caused a bunch of violence.It is said that foreigners were in charge of these attacks.The U.S doesnt want anything to do with this.
ReplyDelete1) the terrorists chose Mumbai because they thought india was weak in protection.
ReplyDelete2) people think some pakistan group is responsible yet. But to this moment no one knows who is responsible.
3) I don't think this will effect the United States. partially because it has nothing to do with us.
terrorists chose Mumbai becuase Minister Shivraj Patil resigned and they didnt like it. India believes it was their lack of security that contributed to the attacks.
ReplyDeletethey think that it was the Pakistanians who did it, but are not for sure. They used boats to reach the urban peninsula, and targeted places where there were a lot of tourists.
Right now we have no just cause for entering Pakistan, and if India fights with them and the terrorists that are harboring there come out, we could have a reason to go in there, and get them to do something about it.
India's top law enforcement official admitted Friday there were government "lapses" in last week's terror attack on Mumbai, amid a public uproar over security and intelligence failures in the deadly siege.
ReplyDelete"There have been lapses. I would be less than truthful if I said there had been no lapses," Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram told reporters. "I'm doing my utmost to overcome the causes of these lapses and to improve the effectiveness of the security systems in the country."
The assault on India's financial capital left 171 dead and 239 wounded. Chidambaram, only days in the post after the previous minister was ousted after the attacks, made the acknowledgment as new details surfaced that a Pakistani militant group had used an Indian operative as far back as 2007 to scout targets in the Mumbai plot.
Thye chose mumbai because they wanted to get Shivraj patil.They are from Pakistan.no
ReplyDeleteMumbai was basiclly attacked, because they wanted to kill a high politican. It was just one more terroristic attack of a couple.
ReplyDeleteThe terrorist are some islamistic people from Pakistan and are called: Lashkar-e-Taiba Islamic terrorist.
IT shows once again, that there are a lot of terroristic groups and we should keep watching...but maybe not just watching, but reacting!
1)Uproar over security and intelligence failures in the deadly siege
ReplyDelete2)Ajmal Amir Kasab, 21, told interrogators he had been sent by the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
3)They will get cautious about the terriost attacks.
this terrorist attack cann affect our country because america is allies with pakistan and india is saying pakistan is were the terrorist came from.
ReplyDeleteminister of India shivraj patil was the first politcal casulty of attacks on mumbai. The attack was the worst in a country with a long history of terrorist violence it ended on Saturday when Commandos killed the last Islamist gunmen holed up at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel after a three-day rampage.killed the last Islamist gunmen holed up at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel after a three-day rampage.Bhushan Gagrani spokesman for government of mumbai told financial times “None of the 10 involved in the terrorist attack were Indians.”
ReplyDeleteBecause Pakistan and India don't get along. Mr. Khan. India, pakistan and the rest of themiddle-east.
ReplyDeletewell saying that we are allies with pakistan and thats were the terrorists came from supposedly it could affect our country. they chose mumbia because it is the most finacially biggest and the biggest city.
ReplyDelete1.They thought attacking Mumbai would be an easy attack.
ReplyDelete2.Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is a Pakistan terrorist group. Former officers from Pakistan’s Army and its powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency helped train the Mumbai attackers.
3. I don't think this will affect us because we had nothing to do with it.
