••••• India bomb blast - please post news and updates here •••••

[breadandwine]

In possible echoes of the Mumbai massacre, there was a bomb blast at a popular eatery in Pune, India, killing at least 8 and injuring dozens. The eatery, the German Bakery, which is a restaurant serving omelets, coffee and similar fare, is about 100 meters from Pune's Chabad House. It is also near an Ashram. David Headley, a Lashkar e-Taiba operative being interrogated by the FBI, has disclosed that he was there and surveyed a number of Chabad Houses and other sites in India in preparation for future terrorist attacks. The eatery is also a favorite hangout of foreigners.

The bomb has been reported to have contained ammonium nitrate and fuel oil among other ingredients. It was left in a knapsack under a table.

Some reports are indicating that the objective was to disrupt upcoming talks between India and Pakistan.

India on Alert After Bomb Kills 9

By JIM YARDLEY
Published: February 13, 2010

NEW DELHI — Indian authorities on Saturday issued a national alert after 9 people were killed and at least 57 were wounded when a bomb exploded at a German bakery in a neighborhood popular with foreign tourists in the western Indian city of Pune.

Medics tended to victims of a blast in Pune, India, on Saturday. Several were in critical condition.

Investigative teams from New Delhi were flying to Pune, and the authorities had not linked the probable attack to any terrorist organizations or publicly identified any suspects or motive. But the timing is certain to complicate the recent overture by India to resume the high-level talks with Pakistan that broke off after the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai by Pakistani militants. India has demanded that Pakistan confront domestic terrorist groups as a condition of resuming diplomatic talks.

15. ••••• Right, right. •••••

I wonder if the OP was aware of that.
My meager commentary was about my perception of the inappropriate use of "•••••" in a subject line for an older story with no supplied links. I probably shouldn't have said anything at all.

[breadandwine]

16. Actually, Greyl, at the time you began your belly aching I had 24 links on my hard drive

but I felt I should post them slowly to allow others to offer a multiplicity of perspectives on the tragedy.

I now have close to 40 articles, some with redundant information. If you'll notice, I've been slowly posting some of these on this thread as more information comes out.


Perhaps you need a new excuse to trash this thread.....

You pretend that this is "old" news even though it is a still developing story from an event that occurred Saturday. Today is Sunday. You DO keep up with the times, yes?

You've also gotten your panties in a bunch over my punctuation or such. Or should I say it's --- straws --- you're grasping at?


For some reason, some people on DU have a reflexive need to undermine news of this sort. They can't handle this sort of news and want to pretend these events don't happen. I wonder why........


What's your REAL motive??

RDX, ammonium nitrate used in Pune blast


This article has video links.

[breadandwine]

10. India Times Video ---

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/5572463.cms


Says every bomb has something of its own "fingerprint" or pattern that offers clues as to its origin. This one, according to the video report, in the view of Indian authorities, pointed to the Mujahideen, a domestic terror group, and also Lashkar e-Taiba, the Pakistani-based group responsible for the Mumbai massacre. The bomb included RDX and ammonium nitrate. Shrapnel was used to cause maximum injury.

___________


Initially, authorities, wanting to avert public panic, were hoping the explosion might have been from a gas cylinder (i.e., propane tank or the like) used for cooking in the restaurant, but all such cylinders in the restaurant have reportedly been accounted for and the ingredients investigators have found rule out such an explanation.

[breadandwine]

11. Haaretz has a report ---

The New York Times article above says Headley, son of a Pakistani diplomat and who scouted out the area for Lashkar e-Taiba, the Pakistani group that also perpetrated the Mumbai massacre, had scouted out 200 yards from the bakery. I've seen elsewhere that Headley had stayed at the Ashram which was 200 yards from the Bakery. But Indian authorities have also stressed that the Bakery was just a few dozen meters from the Chabad House and they think the Chabad House was a target in this attack.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1149514.html

Possibly the terrorists wanted to combine objectives, pick a crowded spot near the Chabad House frequented by foreigners, for maximum effect.

I've also seen reports that Headley also stayed at Chabad Houses, posing as a Jew, to scout them out.

the mission of the Indian Mujahideen module in Pune is to kill as many foreigners as possible and create panic in the country. The unit is also trying to scare foreigners ahead of the Commonwealth games. Intelligence Bureau sources indicate the bombing was the work of an Indian Mujahideen module. The Home Ministry is also saying that this was a blast in the style of Lashkar e-Taiba, the group responsible for the Mumbai massacre. The video also says Lashkar operative David Headley surveyed the Osho Ashram and the Chabad House in Pune near the blast site as well as other sites in the city.

23. kick for more updates... absolutely horrifying. n/t

[breadandwine]

24. Thanks much for the kick. Here's much more ---

According to this article (below) the area where the blast took place was considered a "sensitive" area by authorities and was under added security already. The reason the bomber was successful was that the two sites considered likely targets, the Chabad House and the Osho Ashram, were not the actual targets chosen by the bomber. Instead, the bomber used a site between them that was not protected and was, rather, a "soft" target authorities had not thought to reinforce or protect. It was, nevertheless, a location many there, including many foreigners, frequented, a popular eatery there. This underscores how difficult it is to protect against this sort of attack. Headley, the Lashkar e-Taiba operative, had actually scouted out both Chabad Houses and the Osho Ashram, so both sites were specific targets the government was already concerned to protect. But what are governments supposed to do, provide extra police protection for every coffee shop on planet earth?

http://www.indiatvnews.com/news_print.php?id=1708&smod=main&mod=1

But the article also says police protection was in the area and it was patrolled and there was no diversion of police resources from the area, according to the home minister. This may possibly be related to a charge some Indians made that I saw in reader comments on another web page, that this attack might not have happened had the government not been wasting resources on protecting a movie star. See here:

http://news.rediff.com/report/2010/feb/13/pune-why-terrorists-chose-pune-german-bakery.htm

Some Indians apparently are up in arms over government protection for India's leading movie star, Shah Rukh Khan (see Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahrukh_Khan ), often called the "King of Bollywood" (India's version of Hollywood, from "Bombay" plus "Hollywood"). He is also called, "King Khan." Khan just made a movie that is pro-Muslim, called "My Name Is Khan." It is about a Muslim man, named, like him, Khan, who is anti-social -- BUT -- only because he is slightly autistic and has Asperger's syndrome. In the movie he encounters discrimination after 9/11. Some Hindus are up in arms over this, there are some very anti-social radical Muslims out there bombing India on a regular basis and their behavior can't be whitewashed by saying they have Asperger's syndrome. So they consider the movie to be preposterous propaganda.

In the reader comments to that article people keep referring to "MNIK" which means, "My Name Is Khan," the movie title. See Wikipedia page on the film here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MNIK

There have been Hindu protests at movie theaters in India for the showing of this film and, complicating things, the movie was just released on the Friday one week before the Pune bombing. Some people seem to think there may even be a connection in all this, that the bombing was partly a reaction to Hindu reaction to the movie, which they see as whitewashing India's terror problem. Khan (the movie star), also angered people by saying a leading sports team in India should be hiring Pakistani athletes, which doesn't go over well considering the bad relations with Pakistan, whose intelligence service backs Lashkar e-Taiba and was almost certainly involved in aiding that group's Mumbai massacre. So some Indians now see Khan (the movie star) as a closet supporter of Pakistan. So naturally, the government has had to provide added protection to him and movie theaters showing his film.

The added protection for him and movie theaters has been provided especially in Maharashtra state, which includes the cities of Pune and Mumbai (Bombay) where the two terror attacks occurred. (There have been many other terror attacks in India, especially by Indian Mujahideen and Lashkar e-Taiba, I'm referring here to the two big recent ones, in Pune and Mumbai, both in Maharashtra state.)

But you can understand how people would feel here in the US if Brad Pitt got special protection while others were suffering from frequent bomb attacks. So it's an emotional issue. And added protection or no for the area, you can always make the charge, perhaps validly, that "if only the police had done more," etc....

Beyond this, there are messages in New York subways warning people about unattended packages. I'm not sure most of India has had heightened awareness efforts like that. People have to live. Incredibly, India has maintained a democratic society despite having far more terror attacks than the US has had. The Mumbai massacre, incidentally, has been dubbed in India "26/11" because of its date, November 26, but it's a play on "9/11." This is how Indians view the Mumbai massacre -- it's their own 9/11. Now the government in India is telling people everywhere to be on the lookout for suspicious packages, not to touch them, and to contact authorities. It's not clear that they were telling people this previously. So if you want to say the government should have done more, that is an example of something they might have done more.

If you really want to understand the Indian mentality about terrorism, it is very close to the documentary "Obsession," about radical Islamic terror attacks. It's available online in about 10 parts. Here are links to the first three of them, though you can find the rest with a simple search on YouTube:

Part 1:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMLJJEDDDGc&feature=PlayList&p=FE5A96CBDC2582F7&index=0


Part 2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bev054pNzI&feature=PlayList&p=FE5A96CBDC2582F7&index=1


Part 3:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bJE6bIiXps&feature=PlayList&p=FE5A96CBDC2582F7&index=2


I don't want to get into an argument about the politics of the documentary and maybe it's controversial, but it really captures how many Indians feel about Pakistan constantly supporting Lashkar and terrorists in Kashmir.

28. Info on the political reaction to the bombing - and its relation to movies ---

Opposition parties are blaming the government. It's not just readers who are referring to the movie star Shah Rukh Khan and the added security he got. Now opposition parties have held a rally, attacking the government and complaining about Shah Rukh Khan's protection at the expense of general need. (See my post 24 for more on all this.)



http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Parties-blame-Congress-govt-for-Pune-blast/articleshow/5573990.cms



One political leader in this article also says the government is well aware that many terror attacks in India occurred on the 13th or 26th of the month and should have been better prepared. I'm not sure of the significance of this. Why terrorists are fixated on 13 and 26 I don't know. The Mumbai massacre was on 26/11 and this bombing in Pune was on 2/13. But here in the US the government considers as sensitive anniversaries of terror events and things like that and they beef up security at certain times. The Indian critics have a point if security isn't beefed up on days the terrorists tend to fixate on.

At any rate, the political reaction is starting to set in and it's an irony that this all happened right after a controversial film with a superstar in it came out, because it enables opposition groups to capitalize and piggy back on his fame.

http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/india-news/centre-probing-role-of-jamaat-ud-dawaah-in-pune-attack_100320270.html


The article refers to Lashkar-e-Taiba and to Jamaat-ud-Dawaah, also spelled Jama'at-ud-Da'wah or JuD for short. JuD is an alias for Lashkar-e-Taiba (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaat-ud-Dawah )

The article also says the Pune bombing is suspected of being a joint effort of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Indian Mujahideen.

Lashkar is Pakistan backed and based. Elsewhere up this thread I posted info saying Indian Mujahideen is believed to be a front for Lashkar basically.

All this underscores the possible role of Pakistan. The Mumbai massacre was also Pakistan backed and the terrorists in that attack were Lashkar.

Pakistan and India are just about to have negotiations. All this casts a pall on such negotiations as it makes Pakistan appear to be giving with one hand and slugging with the other.

http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20100215/808/tnl-breakthrough-in-pune-blast-case.html


A closed caption TV camera from the hotel opposite the German bakery that was bombed has revealed a conversation between two terrorists who can be heard on the tape, establishing that two people were involved at least in executing the bombing. The duo reportedly escaped from the area in an auto rickshaw after leaving a bag full of explosives inside the bakery. Pune Police is collecting eyewitness accounts of the suspicious duo spotted in the CCTV footage.

The blast in Pune was reportedly triggered as part of what is called the Karachi Project planned by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). The details of the alleged Karachi Project were revealed by the arrested suspected Lashkar operative David Coleman Headley to the USA's FBI.

Headley had reportedly also surveyed other terror targets in cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Pushkar and Goa, staying close to Jewish prayer centers in these cities.

This is beginning to sound like various groups and factions, with Pakistan ties, attempting to take credit to obfuscate who really did it.

Indian authorities, nevertheless, are focussed on the idea that the attack was a joint operation of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (of which David Headley was an operative) and the Indian-based Indian Mujahideen (IM), which itself is a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba. IM is also reportedly backed by Pakistan.

47. Jewish center was a target in Pune bombing - Arab News

http://arabnews.com/world/article17058.ece




Based on what I've read so far my theory is pretty simple. The terrorists had a number of objectives and the German bakery met them best, given that security had already been heightened at the Chabad House and the Osho Ashram. The terrorists figured that the Bakery would be a place where people involved in both the Chabad House and Ashram might gather, so going for the Bakery gave them a "two-fer." Also, the Bakery was a place where foreigners gathered, thus targeting India's tourist industry.

as they thought initially the explosion involved liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Water would have reduced danger of further fire. But in the process the cleaning could have destroyed evidence. As it turned out, gas tanks used in cooking at the restaurant were not detonated in the explosion and thus, the use of water was not necessary and only washed away some potential evidence.

PUNE, Feb. 24: The investigations into the Pune blast took a sensational twist after the office of the police commissioner received two letters by post on Wednesday in which two as-yet-unheard-of outfits — Simi International and Mujahideen Islami Muslim Front

— claimed that they had carried out the German Bakery blasts. In a tone that was rather bombastic, as a senior officer put it, the outfits said: "This (referring to the Pune blasts) was done as revenge and nobody can catch us." The outfit also wrote that they have a formidable base in Bhiwandi, Thane and Guwahati.
