US, Canada, Australia Warn Of 'Imminent' Terror Attacks In India's Capital

NEW DELHI — The U.S., Australia and Canada warned Saturday that terror groups were likely planning "imminent attacks" in India's capital and foreigners there should be vigilant.

The U.S. Embassy's alert, adding the word "imminent," appeared to be more urgent than an advisory last month that cited increased indications of attacks in New Delhi.

The warnings noted that markets and other areas frequented by Westerners in New Delhi have been targeted in past attacks.

Militants linked to Pakistan-based Islamic groups have been blamed for previous attacks in the Indian capital.

The U.S. alert said Americans in India should maintain "a high level of vigilance," remain aware of their surroundings and watch out for unattended packages.

The Canadian travel warning said that "credible and specific reporting indicates that a terrorist attack could be carried out in the following days or weeks, in market areas of Delhi frequented by foreigners." It echoed a warning for Australian travelers to "exercise a high degree of caution" in India in general and to avoid crowded shopping areas in the capital.

Local police said they were aware of the warnings of possible attacks.

"The Delhi Police is taking appropriate measures in this regard," police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said, according to Press Trust of India news agency. He did not elaborate.

quote: A question that cries out from these this litany of suffering is ‘Why?’ After many years of observation and study, Sultan came to what seemed to her to be the inescapable conclusion that all the abuses she was observing around her were due to Islam and its God.
Sultan offers this warning to the world: ‘The status of women in Muslim countries is a human catastrophe that the world has ignored for centuries, and for which it is now paying a high price for ignoring.’ The price, she suggests, is that oppressed and subjugated women cannot raise emotionally well and mentally healthy men. The ‘invisible Muslim woman’ … is … ‘the hen who incubates the eggs of terrorism.’ (p.135) Sultan’s answer to the post 9/11 question ‘Why do they hate us?’ is ‘Because Muslims hate their women, and any group who hates their women can’t love anyone else.’ Why do they hate their women? ‘Because their God does.’ (p.7)

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, accused of taking part in the 72-hour bloodbath in November 2008 that killed 166 people in Mumbai. On Monday, as the 22-year-old Pakistani prepared to learn his fate in court, some people in Faridkot, about 26 kilometres from the Indian border, sat in groups watching TV waiting to hear the verdict, said an AFP reporter....Residents said they would denounce any sentence India hands down to Kasab."Look, don't blame him. There is nothing wrong if he did it with good intentions against an infidel country like India," said Amjad Ali, a 60-year-old farmer with white hair. "India should forgive him and set him free to improve relations with Pakistan," he added.

The mindset that denies causation between repression, exploitation, promotion of corruption on a people and that people responding with extremism and militancy represents a blindness that reaches the soul. convince yourself that you can kill someone because he hates your freedoms so you can ignore your own culpability an daccountability.
Any wonder how Wall Street defrauded America of billions? How the financial industry took trillions?

that's a pretty accurate description of the effects of Muslim culture of predation. Apart from bombs and hatred, Muslims don't produce anything by themselves and rely on predation for their survival.

Arik, I know your narrative tells you this, and its warm and fuzzy, so hold it tight in the dark and as the thunder grows louder. I'm not absolving Muslims of responsibility and accountability for their wrongdoings, I'm pointing out the culpability and complicity of the West for the sake of the HP audience, by chance they still have a heart. Because on the Day of Judgement, the ones who side with evil, with oppressors, with corruptors, with defilers, even if its only a heart's sentiment, on The Day will share in accountability for their deeds. And since you don't believe in the Day of Judgement, and don't believe in God or that you will ever face him for all that you did, and did not do but ought to, then we will soon see who is right.

BTW, Pakistan's militant groups like Lashkar Taiba has been linked to the ISI and Pakistani military- both have been known to serve American regional interests. Pakistan is in the midst of major insurgency and instability partially due to its relations with America. America wants Pakistan to accept India's superiority in the region, including India's dominance over Afghanistan. Karzai and the Northern Alliance are tied to India through funding, whereas the Taliban are tied to Pakistan.
As well, hindutva establishment in India WANT India to become a more aggressive military power against Pakistan and China. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/malegaon-blast-arrest-exposes-hindu-militan/379368/ China is using Maoist rebels to destabilize India's north and northeast and is planning on dams that will cut India water supplies in its east severely. Pakistan has developed its relations with China extensively, including granting China a major naval base at Gwadar deepsea port. Pakistan plans to serve China's Xinjiang province through Gwadar and its road system.

You forget one thing - India is a secular country not because the minorities want it to be secular but because the majority Hindus want the country to be secular and not a Hindu state. And the right wing hindutva parties hardly ever come to power, the major one BJP is crumbling like dust. Can you say the same about Pakistan?

They don't have a choice. There are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan... They can't not be secular and risk another partition like 1947...

"It is often pointed out that India is home to the world's biggest minority, and that there are more Muslims in India than in all of Pakistan, the BBC's Anu Anand in Delhi reports."

I didnt say America carried out the Mumbai attack. However, as a standard concept of Game Theory, player A maneuvers to make or lead his opponent X into positions which serve player A's interests and strategy. America's Northwoods experiment is well known http://www.rense.com/general76/op.htm

I'm not concerned about proving America's involvement inthe Mumbai attack because its official policy for India to be prepped to become a regional military power.

Not to mention that besides serving American global primacy interests by dominating Central Asia and thereby Asia's crossroads (see Brezinski's The Grand Chessboard), America had plans for pipelines, aka TAPI to fuel India's development by American industries.

U forgot plans of splitting the provinces into nation states to negate China's access to the Strait of Hormuz... As it stands, access is easily achieved through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly NWFP) and Baluchistan but if these two provinces were to be separated, China's access will be completely blocked.

So the religion of Peace will strike again.

[hello All]

08:39 AM on 05/02/2010

Yes, Hinduism- a non-violent religion of peace seems to strike again

Brief history of attacks suspected on Hindu terrorists

1. Malegaon Blast (in a mosque)- 5 Muslim killed, scores injured - http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Hindu-group-behind-Malegaon-blast-Police/376802/
2. Ajmer Blast (in a Dargah) - 3 Muslim killed, 30 injured - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Ajmer-blast-Hindu-outfit-responsible/articleshow/5878836.cms
3. Hyderabad Blasts (in a mosque) - 9 killed, hundreds injured - http://beta.thehindu.com/news/national/article419151.ece
4. Nanded Blast - A person died while making bomb that was supposed to be used on Mosques - http://www.tehelka.com/story_main24.asp?filename=Ne123006Nanded_blast_CS.asp
5. Samjhauta Express Blast - 68 Mostly Muslims and Pakistani Killed - http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Purohit-supplied-RDX-for-Samjhauta-Express-blast-ATS/386143/
6. Parbhani blast, Purna blast - http://www.thehindu.com/fline/fl2524/stories/20081205252411200.htm

It is important to note that in all the above attacks the initial suspects,without a prelimnary investigation, were Muslims. After Police failed to find any evidence of role of Muslims they started to looking at the angle of Hindu terror and made startling discoveries.

Still there are some dozen of blasts suspected on Muslims, but it has been more than a year that Police could not charge-sheet as there is no evidence. Probably Police should look the role of the people of non-violent religion aka Hinduism in these blast too.

09:00 AM on 05/02/2010

You compile a few instances of Hindu nationalists attacking in a country of 1 billion. However, you fail to mention to the readers that many of these attacks were preceded by vicious Moslem attacks on Hindus and were retaliatory in nature. One wonders whether you have cognitive ability to understand the threats facing India. Do you really believe it is the Hindu nationalists who are plotting to attack India; that warnings of those attacks would have come from the other nations? Liberals = Moslem apologists. And the above poster is proof.

[BestGuest]

09:18 AM on 05/02/2010

This and the fact that Hemant Karkare who was responsible for discovering and continuing the investigation deeper into the hindu groups involvement into these above mentioned acts of terror was killed in mysterious circumstances during the Mumbai attack.

He was the chief of Mumbai anti terror squad. His investigations had led to the arrest of army personnel involved with the Malegon and Samjhota express blasts which were initially blamed on Pakistan and aligned Muslim groups. Read the wikipedia article bit on circumstances surrounding his death. Google some more if u wanna get a better idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemant_Karkare#Death

This bit of the atrocities on that day are rarely shed light on by the MSM.

There is a long history of false flag operations in India which seem to be created put pressure on Pakistan and strain the relations between the two countries...

[JamesSin]

because Pakistan has nuclear weapons too.
Also, because India is not a violent country

[hello All]

08:55 AM on 05/02/2010

I agree with your first statement, Pakistan is a nuclear country. It would be foolish to engage with a nuclear country. But as for your second statement, about non-violence, then Indian is far from non-violent. Indians are too busy killing fellow Indians.

Do you have any idea how many Indian got killed in violence?

1984 Sikh riots - 3000 Sikhs were killed by ramapaging Hindu Mobs. The political affiliations of this Mob seems to be Congress party, but the fact remains that they were the followers of non-violent religion.

2002 Gujrat riots - 2910 Muslims were killed by Hindu Mobs. The political affiliations of this Mob seems to be Bharatiya Janata Party, but the fact remains that they were the followers of non-violent religion.

2008 Kandhamal riots - A total of 310 villages were affected with 4,104 homes of Christians torched. More than 18,000 were injured and 50,000 displaced by the rampaging Hindu Mobs who claimed to be taking revenge of a murder of a swami which the official investigation seems to be pointing the role of Naxalites.

These are major incidents related to the non-violent citizens of a non-violent country.

Sadly, the more unstable Pakistan gets, the more unemployed youth with guns will be led into Jihadi camps and told to carry out their religious duty in India.
