Key to Mumbai blasts may lie close to home, say experts
Times of India – Jul 16, 2006
Analysts say the complex operation
– seven time bombs went off just minutes apart on commuter trains at the height
of the evening rush hour — could not have been carried out by outsiders alone. At least 179 people were killed, and many more injured. “Only a
terrorist group with local knowledge can operate and strike with such accuracy
and precision,” wrote Singapore-based analyst Rohan Gunaratna in an assessment
of the blast. “The perpetrators had either lived in Mumbai or are citizens of
Mumbai.

It is time to embrace mainstream Muslims
Irish Independent – Jul 16, 2006
Israel, in its uncompromising way, is sending its neighbouring governments the same message. Deal with the terrorists in your midst, or suffer serious consequences. Last week, in London, people were remembering the serious consequences of failing to deal with home-grown terrorists. There was more uncompromising rhetoric from the Prime Minister, yet, on Friday, the New Statesman journalist, Martin Bright, presented a Channel 4 programme called Who Speaks for Muslims, which showed how the reality was about appeasement. Having been provided by a whistle-blower with many restricted documents from the British Foreign Office, Bright showed how the government is obsessed with cosying up to radical Islam at home and abroad, believing that somehow, they will deliver peace. The Muslim Council of Britain, which is best pals with the government and claims to represent all Muslims, is closely intertwined with the Muslim Brotherhood, an international alliance of sexist, homophobic imperialists who want to bring everyone under the medieval rule of Sharia law.
UNP boycotts APRC:
Sunday Observer – Jul 16, 2006
When he addressed the APRC, the President said that he could not
perform this task single handedly, however powerful the office of the
Executive President may be. What he said was an affirmation of the popular discourse that it
should be a multi-party effort and an inclusive approach. Then he said that we need to develop a "home grown" solution and that
it should underpine our traditional values and heritage moulded by the
four great religions practised in our country. But, "home grown" does not mean that the APRC should reinvent the
wheel. The President was appreciative of that. There are devolution
models and constitutional experiments successfully implemented in other
parts of the world. But, the President qualified his remarks saying that such models
should be explored bearing in mind our own specificities as well as
commonalities… What he said was an affirmation of the popular discourse that it

Wanted: girls fit for spying
Times Online – Jul 16, 2006
Used on article pages to rotate the images of a story. The secret service is launching a poster campaign in private gyms to recruit more women from the country’s ethnic minority communities as surveillance operatives to help it combat the threat of home-grown Islamic terrorism. Pictures of a T-shirt-clad black girl will appear from tomorrow in locker rooms of Fitness First gyms and specialist leisure magazines as the organisation embarks on one of the biggest transformations in its history. By 2008 it hopes to have increased the size of its staff from 2,800 to 3,500. Although half its current employees are female, fewer than 200 come from ethnic minorities and only a handful of this group are trained as covert surveillance operatives. The glamour and machismo of James Bond films has traditionally given the spying game extra cachet for young male graduates.
