Brits Of Pakistani Origin Among Mumbai Militants

It doesn't take the sharpest knife in the drawer to figure out that this act of war against India originated in the Pakistani tribal areas.

It has al Qaeda's insane jihad written all over it:

"Two British-born Pakistanis were among eight gunmen seized by Indian commandos who stormed buildings to free hostages, Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Mumbai, reportedly said.

The Foreign Office earlier said it was investigating reports on NDTV, a local television news channel, that the terrorists - who swarmed luxury hotels and other tourist sites in the city - included "British citizens of Pakistani origin".

The development came as Gordon Brown called for international co-ordination to combat terrorism in the wake of the attacks. He said: "We have got to look at how international action against terrorism can be improved."

On the claim that Britons could have been among the perpetrators, he said: "I would not want to be drawn into early conclusions about this.(Blah,blahh,blahhh,blahhhh)

"Obviously when you have terrorists operating in one country, they may be getting support from another country or coming from another country, and it is very important that we strengthen the co-operation between India and Britain in dealing with these instances of terrorist attacks."

Here's a conclusionfrom a security expert:

"The Mumbai assault, by contrast, was "uniquely disturbing," said Sajjan Gohel, a security expert in London, because it seemed directed at foreigners, involved hostage taking and was aimed at multiple "soft, symbolic targets." The attacks "aimed to create maximum terror and human carnage and damage the economy," he said in a telephone interview.

But the central riddle was the extent to which local assailants had outside support. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of India said the attacks probably had "external linkages," reflecting calculations among Indian officials that the level of planning, preparation and coordination could not have been achieved without help from experienced terrorists, particularly groups affiliated to Al Qaeda."

Now we learn that the external linkage led to Britain.

This security expert was right.

Gordon Brown isn't going to help matters by acting like a panty-waist.

That's what Islamists are expecting from both Brown and Barack Obama.
