Mumbai Attacks
The Mumbai attacks bear the hallmarks of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a group which operated in Kashmir in the 1990s, but has global reach today. It was founded and supported by the ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence agency. If Lashkar-e-Taiba responsible for the attacks, Pakistan will face new scrutiny from the U.S. as an ally in the war on terror.

IMGXYZ1621IMGZYXThe Mumbai attacks bear the hallmarks of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a group which operated in Kashmir in the 1990s, but has global reach today. It was founded and supported by the ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence agency. If Indian investigative agencies can link the group responsible for this operation to Pakistan, it will further strain relations in the subcontinent. Ashley J. Tellis explains to Fareed Zakaria that the central question that the U.S. will face is whether Pakistan can be an ally in the war on terror while being complicit in fomenting terrorism.

It is not a phenomenon unique to Russia that the public of a country at war (even the aggressor) enduring airstrikes will not overturn its government but rather show solidarity with it and blame its woes on the enemy.
