For all the flood of information we’re seeing today (bin Laden tape, the supposed severing of ties between Israel and Arafat, US pulling out of the ABM treaty) the biggest deal may end up being the terrorist attack on the Indian parliament. If the perpetrators were Muslim militants from Kashmir or Al Qaeda-ites, this will be trouble. Big trouble.
âFor the past two decades, we have been fighting terrorism; now the battle has reached its final phase,â says India’s Prime Minister. “The fight has now reached a decisive stage. At this time of crisis, the nation is united,â says the Defense Minister. âThis problem (terrorism) has crossed the limit and we have to solve it.”
