Oh, and while Bush rides his bike in Moscow and the Middle East burns, nuclear-armed India is blaming nuclear-armed Pakistan for aiding the terrorist group that killed so many people in the July 11 Mumbai train bombings:
From Indo-Pak Secretary-level talks called off Times of India 07/16/06;
Toughening its stand against the background of the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, India on Saturday told Pakistan that the Foreign Secretary-level talks will not take place on July 20.
The decision was formally communicated to Pakistan and the new dates for the talks meant to review the third round of composite dialogue have also not been proposed. The new dates will be decided later, diplomatic sources said here.
The decision was conveyed by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to the Pakistan High Commission here, a day after the government emphasised that the attacks in Mumbai had "vitiated" the atmosphere for the talks.
From Lashkar-e-Qahhar claims responsibility for 11/7 Times of India 07/16/06:
Lashkar-e-Qahhar, which says it has links with the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), on Saturday claimed responsibility for the 11/7 serial blasts that ripped through Mumbai’s commuter trains killing over 200 people.
In an e-mail to a TV channel, Lashkar-e-Qahhar stated that it had organised the blasts with its module of 16 people and not 14 as was being reported. It also claimed that all 16 people involved in the blasts were safe. The blasts, according to the e-mail, were in retaliation to the ground situation in Gujarat and Kashmir and was part of a series of blasts that it had planned on targets that include Mumbai’s international airport, Gateway of India, Taj Mahal and Red Fort, among others.
According to reports, intelligence agencies are trying to track the mail and the server from which it has been sent. Most officials claim that Lashkar-e-Qahhar could be a front for LeT and that investigations are on.
