[governance] 101 killed as gunmen rampage in India city

[David Goldstein]

Let's not get too carried away with the competence of the Indian authorities. The Times reported:
"Last year, out of 22,000 people killed in terrorist attacks worldwide,
2,300 people, or 10.5 per cent, were in India, according to the US
State Department’s latest report on global terrorism. 

"Yet
India rarely arrests, let alone convicts, the culprits, because of its
poorly-trained and under-staffed law enforcement agencies and its
chronically overloaded judicial system, experts say."

Dear All:
Moments ago we heard that the situation in Mumbai has been resolved and all hostages were freed (Among the hostages were Kuwaiti Nationals). This reflects the competency of the Indain authorities which we are sure that they will take every possible measure to secure the IGF meeting. I hope that this incident will not stop us from being in Hyderabad which will refelct support and appreciation to India and the Indian people.

All,

 Well it seems it has gotten worse in India.
See:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AS_INDIA_SHOOTING?SITE=ININS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Seems to be an effort that was well coordinated and well planed
as the Indian police were caught unawares.  Also it seems that
UK, and US citizens along with Jewish travelers and visitors were
targeted specifically.  As someone that is jewish, I find this to be
particularly galling.  Perhaps the Israeli special forces organizations
should be called in here?

 So any of you whom are UK, US citizens or jewish, might want
to rethink your traveling plans to India for the forseeable future...
