As India continues to point the finger at neighboring Pakistan for a deadly terrorist attack in Mumbai that killed at least 172 people a week ago, government officials and security experts are urging patience in order to sort out truth from speculation.
India has accused Yusuf Muzammil, a senior leader of the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba,for coordinating the attacks- The Wall Street Journal reported. A senior Mumbai police official told the newspaper that two days before the attack, the group of 10 terrorists who took hostages talked with terrorist group leaders via satellite phone. The group also underwent training in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, the official said.
Muzammil was on a list of 20 people India has asked Pakistan to extradite. Pakistani officials have promised to look into the alleged role of "non-state actors" ,a phrase that usually refers to militant groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba. President Asif Ali Zardari pledged quick action against anyone proven to be involved.

THE U.S IMPACT :
Its a known fact that Condolezza Rice (U.S secretary of state) visited the Indian prime minister and officials and as well as the Pakistani counterparts. As a lay person, one may think that the U.S is helping India and putting pressure on Pakistan. But the real story (the real fact) goes here. We know that the Pakistan and American forces are carrying out a joint operation to eliminate the "Taliban" which is said to have a base near the pakistan-afghan border. This operation started in Nov 2001 and is still going on. But suddenly, aftermath the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan withdrew its forces from the Afghan border and placed it in the western and southern borders. This would make the U.S forces solitary in the war against Taliban. So, to calm down India's agitation, Rice made a quick visit to both the countries. This would help the U.S forces in Pakistan to fight alongside with the Pakistani soldiers once again. But outside in media its portrayed that U.S is putting pressure on Pak.
Similarly after 2002 parliament attacks, India handed over a list of names to the Pak govt. But they eye washed us by house arresting them for some days and then releasing them. The usual dialogue which we hear from them is "Give us proper evidence. We will take stern action against them", "We have a common enemy" etc etc...... They are suggesting to have "Joint terror investigation" (The team which meets up just once in a month in 5 star hotels and just keep debating---- Absolutely useless speech) another eye wash by the Pak govt. The various suspects and organization which is masterminded behind many attacks in India is banned by almost most of the countries. But they are allowed to roam freely in Pak and arrested once in a while when any terror attacks takes place (Simply sounds rubbish right???)
So this kind of attacks ain't going to end unless our neighboring Countries and Intelligence agencies stop aiding these terrorists. At this point, I remember an old MGR song (Thirudathe paapa thirudathe) in which a line states "Thirudanai paarthu thirunda vittal thiruttai ozhikka mudiyathu" meaning "unless the robber realizes his mistake, we cant stop robbery". Its the bitter truth.
