``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.

The simplest way to prevent terror attacks is to have a world-wide
agreement
NOT to report any terror attacks on any media.


Rumor Control. It was a problem long before the Internet was
invented. And what are you going to do when it is learned that
They(tm) are censoring the News?

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!


If it's a known policy that terror will not get air time, it will stop.


That's pretty much the Chinese approach. If there's an explosion it's
a crazy guy or something like that, not organized Muslim separatists
from Xinjiang. And plenty enough security (like putting bags through
X-ray machines before you can get into a crowded subway if there's a
credible threat).
