Meanwhile ...
July 11th. Seven bombs during the evening commute, in the suburban trains and stations of the economic capital of India, killing 186 and wounding more than 800.
"Nous avons résolu l'affaire du 11 juillet (...) Tout était organisé par les ISI au Pakistan et le LeT [organisation islamiste Lashkar-e-Taiba] avec l'aide d'agents locaux ici. C'était une opération professionnelle, précise et bien préparée."
Prefect of Police of Bombay, A.N. Roy, at a press conference today.
Again, remember what's important:
- a second, larger, plutonium-production reactor at Kusab, augmenting a gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facility at Kahuta, and a small plutonium-production heavy water reactor at Kusab and an existing inventory of 30-50 HEU-based, and 3-5 Plutonium-based nuclear warheads,
- sale of 18 new F-16 fighter aircraft as well as 26 old F-16s,
- China's access to Gwadar, both for oil and gas, and for naval basing, and
- control of the Sui gas field.
What's not important (to the Regime in Washington City) is closure on the OBL organization, abandoned in November/December 2001, and ballot boxes anywhere.
Comments
The BBC had some more interesting reporting on his world wide 'book tour', including the suggestion from higher ups that the ISI was such a clear and present danger it should be dismantled for all the aid and comfort it provided both to Al Queda & the Taliban in general. Which of course has never ceased to be the case since they were created in the mid 80's. Blowback's a bitch. Especially in that region with long memories. Cheers, 'VJ'
