The November 2008 attack in Mumbai, India, should get everyone's attention. It was a well planned, tightly coordinated, extremely violent attack on the center of India's financial and entertainment industry. Ten terrorists, operating in small teams of two to four men, entered the city using a small boat and unleashed 3 days of hell. The small group caused massive chaos, killed over 130 people, and added fuel to an already volatile situation between two neighboring countries. Their tactics were similar to a military operation - hence the description as a "commando style" attack.

Let's first make a few points about the attack itself, then the response, then look at some considerations were it to happen in the US.

About Me

Belisarius

This is my place to vent a little and get things off my chest. I am a retired Marine who has interests in WMDs. Since WMD events are, thankfully, few in number, I spend a lot of time reading about people likely to use them. This takes me on some interesting tangents. I travel alot in my post retirement career and do not always have time to comment as I post articles. Give me a day or two to catch up if I skip comments, please.
