CNN reported that there are at least 454 people suffered injuries from multiple explosions in Mumbai, India, that are blamed on terrorists.
Bodies are still being recovered. Police say 174 people were killed.
Analysts are comparing the attack with the 2004 Madrid bombings and 2005 London blasts, noting all involved multiple, well-coordinated explosions.
Thomas Friedman has written the following paragraphs in his famous book The World is Flat.
I have blogged about the book.
"Is it an accident that India has the largest Muslim minority in the world, with plenty of economic grievances, yet not a single Indian Muslim was found in Al Qaeda?
Is it an accident that the richest man in India is an Indian Muslim software entrepreneur, while the richest man in Pakistan, I will guess, is from one of the 50 feudal families who have dominated that country since its independence?
Is it an accident that the only place in the Muslim world where women felt empowered enough to demand equal prayer rights in a mosque was in the Indian city of Hyderabad?
No, all of these were products of democracy"
If Friedman is correct, then it could be the act of Kashmiri separatist groups.
