59: Smells Like Tee Truffle
Mumbai Attacks, Pakistan Border Tension, Geopolitical Strategy
The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) are viewed as a potential pretext for military action against Pakistan. Observations are made regarding the professional, mercenary-like nature of the attackers, which differs from typical Al-Qaeda suicide bombing tactics. The proximity of Afghanistan to both Pakistan and Iran suggests a strategic troop buildup in the region following the Indian Prime Minister's accusations against Pakistan.
