Re: Terror Attacks on Mumbai-II

Ramana, Isn't it true that there were temp staff at these hotels who were terrorists? Therefore, it was probably pretty easy to ferret out the US names and then send them to the ISI to get a whiff as to who they are. Chances are it was fairly easy since US intel has a limited pool of agents for a sp...

Enqyoob,

Do you have a source for your artillery shell count or where are you speculating from? That number seems really really high even for Russia. I doubt either of them has that many squirreled away as shells. I would think that fissile stock could be better used in other delivery systems.

In the American context, all pits for American bums have to be certified. The one for the W-88 is ye...
