``Security specialists say the attack was probably months in the
planning and appears to have been finely tuned in its execution, but
it ultimately relied on only an estimated 25 gunmen lightly armed with
assault rifles and hand-grenades.''

What they forgot to say that it relied also on the fact that the
Indian citizens who were attacked, were not armed. Somehow, I have
hard times visualizing this attack happening in, say, Oklahoma City.

Quaint customs these parliamentary democracies have..

Shivraj Patil, the Indian home minister, has resigned over the terror
attacks in Mumbai that left around 174 people dead.

Patil submitted his resignation to Manmohan Singh, the Indian prime
minister on Sunday. It is not known if Singh has accepted Patil's
offer to step down from office.

Shortly afterwards, India's national security adviser, M K Narayanan,
also submitted his resignation - which was accepted by the prime
minister.

Palaniappan Chidambaram, the Indian finance minister, has been
appointed home minister while the prime minister takes on the finance
portfolio for an interim period.

A prime ministerial aide told news agency AFP that "more senior
members of the government are likely to be shown the door" in the wake
of the attacks.
