Mumbai attacks: Terrorists took cocaine to stay awake during assault
by Damien McElroy, Daily Telegraph, 3 December 2008
| Quote: | Terrorists who battled Indian commandos for 60-hours last week relied on cocaine and other stimulants to stay awake for the duration of the fight.
Officials said drug paraphernalia, including syringes, was recovered from the scene of the attacks, which killed almost 200 people.
The heavily built men, who had undergone training at a special marine camp established by the Lashkar-e-Taibat (LeT) terrorist group in Pakistan, had also used steroids to build a tougher physique.
"We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," said one official.
"There was also evidence of steroids, which isn't uncommon in terrorists.
"These men were all toned, suggesting they had been doing some heavy training for the attacks. This explains why they managed to battle the commandos for over 50 hours with no food or sleep." |

Mumbai attacks: Terror suspect to be injected with truth drug
by Rahul Bedi, Daily Telegraph, 4 December 2008
| Quote: | The sole surviving terrorist from last week's Mumbai attacks is to be injected with a "truth serum" to establish where he is from.
Police hope to discover whether gunman Azam Amir Kasab came from Pakistan through the use of "narcoanalysis" – a practise banned in most democracies.
The technique was used during the Cold War before it emerged that barbiturate sodium pentothal induced hallucinations, delusions and psychotic manifestations
The row over where the gunman came from has caused major dispute between India and Pakistan as the nuclear-armed neighbours dispute each other's claims. |

LOL I was just reading the thread and had that exact same double take. Sniff I can understand, but acid?! Unless it was some kind of freaky Jacob's ladder evil acid I think it's not the best drug for a crazed murder spree. I'm surprised they didn't just decide to sack it off and sit back and watch the amazing shapes in the clouds or something.
I"d have simply opted for speed as it lasts longer and the horrible comedown might make you more prone to go down fighting rather than put up with it!
Nice to see Melanie 'barking' Phillips going off on her usual rant about how evil Islamists are going to kill us all.

Heh - yeah I Skimmed down and didn't read what you'd quoted and assumed you were referring to this -
| Quote: | | "We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," said one official. |
Oops! That's Friday evenings for you!
LSD has nothing to do with sodium pentothal though and is useless as a truth drug. Mind you, I kinda thought all these so-called truth drugs did was make you talk any old sh*te anyway.

1) Al-Qaeda 'threat to Indian resorts'
2) Airports on alert as authorities brace for '9/11 terrorist attack'
3) Terror alert at three big Indian airports
4) Remarks With Indian Minister of External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee

excerpts from Al-Qaeda 'threat to Indian resorts'
by Damien McElroy, Daily Telegraph, 4 December 2008
| Quote: | The [UK] Foreign Office is preparing to issue a travel warning amid fears that al-Qaeda is planning to attack Indian holiday resorts popular with Western tourists by the new year.
The news came as Indian officials said yesterday they were investigating links between al-Qaeda and last week's attacks on Mumbai. Police believe that a senior al-Qaeda terrorist, who is said to have conceived and planned the 2002 Bali bombings in which 202 people died, may have been involved in the latest outrage.
The potential al-Qaeda involvement in the attacks on prominent locations in Mumbai, which were carried out by the Kashmiri group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has raised concerns that India will see more attacks targeting Westerners.
…
Mumbai's anti-terror squad said it had alerted the resorts of Goa and Pune that militants had infiltrated the area and could attack Western visitors at the end of the year.
British officials predicted that the Foreign Office travel advice would have to include a permanent warning against al-Qaeda-style attacks. |

excerpt from Airports on alert as authorities brace for '9/11 terrorist attack'
by Rhys Blakely, Times, 5 December 2008
| Quote: | India's main airports were on a state of high alert last night amid fears that 14 terrorists given the same training as the Mumbai gunmen are preparing to mount 9/11-type attacks using hijacked passenger planes.
The Defence Minister, A.K. Antony, ordered the nation's armed forces to be on guard against "terror strikes from the air" eight days after India suffered its worst terrorist attack in 15 years...
The India Bureau for Civil Aviation is thought to have been given warning of plans to capture one or more aircraft at Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore or Madras airports, the country's main transport hubs. Officials said that credible intelligence indicated a plan to attack a significant population centre using an airliner in an assault that would resemble those made on New York in 2001. |

excerpt from Terror alert at three big Indian airports
by James Lamont, Financial Times, 5 December 2008
| Quote: | Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai airports were all put on alert after an e-mail threat by the Deccan Mujahideen, which claimed responsibility for the attack on India's financial centre that left nearly 200 people dead.
The audacity of the Mumbai attack, in which terrorists arrived by sea, has made the Indian security forces worry about attacks from all sides, including the air.
Armed police were visible at airports yesterday, passengers were subjected to more rigorous searches and non-travellers barred from entry to terminals.
Measures were also being taken in Mumbai and New Delhi to improve protection of luxury hotels, international companies and foreign institutions. Some are turning to razor wire and armed guards. |

excerpts from Remarks With Indian Minister of External Affairs Pranab Mukherjee
by US Foreign Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Hyderabad House, New Delhi, 3 December 2008
| Quote: | We certainly understand too that there is a strong demand for bringing the perpetrators of such a crime to justice, and a deep desire to prevent any further attacks from taking place.
…
It is also a matter of preventing these terrorists who continue to plot and plan from perpetrating further crimes and further attacks.
…
In all responses, whether they are responses of governments around the world or the response of the Indian Government, the goal should be to make certain that the investigation gets to the bottom of what happened, that the perpetrators are brought to justice, and that there is enough information and a depth of understanding so that an effort can be made to prevent further attacks.
…
And as I said, we're focused with India on both bringing the perpetrators to justice and on preventing further attacks.
…
But the response has to be the same, which is that the perpetrators have to be caught, they have to be brought to justice and they – and there has to be a maximal effort on preventing further attacks. |

excerpts from:
If each of us carried a gun . . .
. . . we could help to combat terrorism
by Richard Munday, Sunday Times, 7 December 2008
| Quote: | The firearms massacres that have periodically caused shock and horror around the world have been dwarfed by the Mumbai shootings, in which a handful of gunmen left some 500 people killed or wounded.
For anybody who still believed in it, the Mumbai shootings exposed the myth of "gun control". India had some of the strictest firearms laws in the world, going back to the Indian Arms Act of 1878, by which Britain had sought to prevent a recurrence of the Indian Mutiny.
The guns used in last week's Bombay massacre were all "prohibited weapons" under Indian law, just as they are in Britain. In this country we have seen the irrelevance of such bans (handgun crime, for instance, doubled here within five years of the prohibition of legal pistol ownership), but the largely drug-related nature of most extreme violence here has left most of us with a sheltered awareness of the threat. We have not yet faced a determined and broad-based attack.
The Mumbai massacre also exposed the myth that arming the police force guarantees security. Sebastian D'Souza, a picture editor on the Mumbai Mirror who took some of the dramatic pictures of the assault on the Chhatrapati Shivaji railway station, was angered to find India's armed police taking cover and apparently failing to engage the gunmen.
....
Rhetoric about standing firm against terrorists aside, in Britain we have no more legal deterrent to prevent an armed assault than did the people of Mumbai, and individually we would be just as helpless as victims. The Mumbai massacre could happen in London tomorrow; but probably it could not have happened to Londoners 100 years ago.
...
In Britain we are not yet ready to recall the final liberty of the subject listed by William Blackstone in his Commentaries on the Laws of England as underpinning all others: "The right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defence." We would still not be ready to do so were the Mumbai massacre to happen in London tomorrow.
"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India," Mahatma Gandhi said, "history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." The Mumbai massacre is a bitter postscript to Gandhi's comment. D'Souza now laments his own helplessness in the face of the killers: "I only wish I had had a gun rather than a camera." |

Mumbai terrorists sought to undermine the whole Indian state
by Con Coughlin, Daily Telegraph, 12 December 2008
| Quote: | | Last week a congressional report concluded that it was "highly likely" that the American mainland would suffer some form of chemical, biological or nuclear attack at the hands of Islamist terror groups within the next four years. And if groups such as these have the capability to attack America, they certainly have the ability to penetrate countries such as Britain, which are far closer to the major training camps in Pakistan. Britain's security authorities are taking no chances – this week, they intensified river patrols on the Thames as a precaution against a Bombay-style attack. |
