Consider the broad facts. Seven to eight terrorist serial blasts occurred in Kashmir. Eight serial blasts occurred in Mumbai. Both on the same day. More than half a dozen victims died in Kashmir. Over a hundred died in Mumbai. The victims in Kashmir were mostly, if not exclusively, tourists. At the critical time the mobile phone system in Mumbai was jammed. And yet the Home Secretary was quoted saying that there was no connection between the terror in Kashmir and in Mumbai. How does he know? Was such synchronized terror in Kashmir and Mumbai pure coincidence? Can such planned and complex operations effected with military precision be conducted without the resources and planning of a very powerful organization?
