The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Report: Authorities Fear 5 Terrorists Got Away from Mumbai Attack
posted 12-01-08
Authorities in India fear that 5 attackers got away during the Mumbai attack and security forces' retaking of targeted localities Times Online reports in "Mumbai attacks - city fears five terrorists are 'missing'" (a publication of News Corp).
The hijacked boat (actually wouldn't that be pirated? So while an Indian military ship was out in the Gulf of Aden blowing up a Thai fishing boat and strutting around afterwards like they were Might Mouse.....) contained equipment for 15.
But read excerpt:
Ajmal Amir Kasab, the sole gunman caught alive, said during police questioning that 24 men were trained in camps in Pakistan for the mission, according to a leaked account of his police interrogation. He has apparently since claimed, however, that only ten made the final trip to Bombay, including him. Police are continuing to question the baby-faced 21-year-old, who has said that he and his accomplices planned to kill 5,000.people.
Security experts say that it is conceivable that a force of just ten heavily armed men could carry out an operation of the scale of the Mumbai strike, which paralysed the commercial capital of India for three days and will haunt its residents for years, but only if they received extensive training and local support.
Investigators believe that at least five or six additional people were immediately involved in preparing for the attacks, by organising logistics and carrying out reconnaissance work. Their whereabouts is unknown.
Efforts to unravel the local support network – which investigators fear may be activated again in future attacks – are centring on Mumbai's most notorious mafia gang, D Company, which is run by Dawood Ibrahim, an organised-crime boss who ranks among the world's top five most-wanted men and is widely believed to have links with al-Qaeda.
It's possible the extra equipment was there for militants going away from Mumbai as apparently their leaders told the militants they would all be returning.
