The terror that struck Mumbai on November 27 was a heinous assault on innocent people --- a tragedy for humanity at large. This horrific bomb attacks on the hotels that took away about 150 people's lives, leaving five hundred severely injured are the worst terrorist attack so far in this part of the world. Experts observed that this kind of string attack is only possible by trained people. Some are speculating al-Qaida links; some others are pointing straight fingers at Pakistan. Some are of the view that terrorists residing in the Pak-Afghan borders are trying to spread communal discord among Indian Muslims and Hindus. Furthermore, they tend to believe that Pakistani Intelligence people were at the backdoor of the show. We express our deep hatred for the terrorists and the evil forces behind this cowardly act. Our sympathies go for the people of India who must now face the challenge with determination and courage.
