    India will continue to face a serious jihadi threat from Pakistan-based terrorist groups for the foreseeable future.

    Terrorists Attacking Mumbai Have Global Agenda

    Despite the tangled history of India and Pakistan, the latest terrorist attacks in Mumbai require the world to take a fresh look at the nature of the terrorist threat.
