Terrorism In India

From CNN: as many as 100 Indian commuters feared dead after a series of terrorist attacks in Mumbai. I suspect Kashmiri militants may know something about this - and indeed the multiple, closely-timed strikes is an MO of theirs. Of course Kashmiri militants are oftentimes little more than Pakistani-backed forces operating at Pakistani behest but still giving Islamabad plausible deniability. If that's the case, then I suspect South Asia's about to get tenser.

Of course there's always the possibility that this wasn't Kashmiris, or that they were operating independently without orders from Pakistan. But I'm going to assume the worst and just let things get better from there.
