26/11 And The Unanswered Question

In the 26/11 tragedy, there were many parties involved. We have Indian establishment, Indian aam aadmi, Pakistani terrorists / Pakistani government / Pakistani army / ISI (more often than not, they are all the same) and thanks to David Headley, USA. Mr. Sebastian Rotella has compiled one of the most comprehensive (non-Indian written) article on the subject which is really damning. Please read the article and think about the big picture. My suggestion to you would be to not blame the US for the Headley fiasco. US claim they gave us prior intel. I think that it is partly true. They must have given India everything they could without exposing their asset (in this case Headley) and their own agencies involved in this imbroglio. That is statecraft. States take care of their interests before doing the right thing. We all know the Indian aam aadmi's role in the matter. It was largely of a victim and the helper of the fellow aam aadmi. Indian establishment’s culpability will never be revealed to us because that would embarrass way too many politicians and babus. We all know what the Pakistanis are capable of; we know it all too well. But the most damning is the role of the most obvious party. It is like the eight hundred pound gorilla in the room which has been ignored all this while. A question was asked at that time: How can Pakistani terrorists sneak into India and then walk into such high profile targets and essentially hold the entire country hostage on their own (they had Pakistani establishment's help but that was not present in Mumbai)? WHAT ABOUT LOCAL HELP? Yes. The Local Help! The local help is the party to this tragedy which has remained under the covers. No one has bothered to answer that question. My question is why? The answer is as clear as a beard on a Mullah's face but no one wants to talk about it. Of course if some fringe Hindu group was involved then we would have heard about it from every member of the Congress, Communists, English Language Media and the rest of the pseudo secular nexus.

Avoiding the truth is like ignoring the tumor growing ON the body. We are ignoring this question at our own peril.

Newly Discovered Warnings About Headley Reveal a Troubling Timeline in Mumbai Case. by Sebastian Rotella
As investigative leads about Headley accumulated over seven years, he trained in Pakistani terror camps and scouted Indian, U.S., and British targets around the world for Lashkar, which the United States designated as a terrorist group in 2001. It's not clear whether the investigators who evaluated each tip about Headley knew of all the previous warnings. But it is known that the Pakistani-American businessman was not questioned or placed on a terror watch list.

The Moroccan wife returned to the embassy in Islamabad and offered another, more specific warning four months later, in April 2008, officials say.
"She said Headley had been given a special mission and that he had both U.S. and Pakistani passports," the senior anti-terror official said. "She said she felt she had been innocently used in an express train bombing" in India in 2007.
The allegations again connected Headley to Lashkar and, for the first time, to a terrorist attack.
In July 2009, the U.S. Treasury Department accused a chief coordinator for Lashkar of playing a central role in the bombing of the Samjhauta express train, which killed 68 people.

Indian investigators have recently pursued theories that Hindu militants were behind the attack. No link to Headley has been disclosed.
