Al Qaeda isn't a defensive movement it is an offensive movement. They won't stop attacking until they get what they want or are destroyed.

If they US has diplomatic and / or trade ties with anyone they don't approve of or if the US votes at the UN is ways they don't like then Al Qaeda will continue to attack.


Joo sometimes goes over the edge, but I have to agree with the above.

The USA was attacked when Clinton was in charge but the population of America seemed to be too concerned with Monica gate and BJ's.

Bush in many ways caught the tail of the tiger due to the USA failing to shoot it when it was still a cub.

61 killed in multiple bombings in India
By Bill RoggioOctober 30, 2008 11:49 AM

Aftermath of one of the 13 bombings in Assam.


India has been hit with another coordinated bombing attack, this time in four districts in the eastern state of Assam. Sixty-one Indians were killed and more than 470 were wounded in the multiple blasts.

The bombs were detonated almost simultaneously around 11:30 local time today. Thirteen bombs were detonated in markets, a court office, and near the Assam state capital. The attacks, like previous attacks in India the past several years, were designed to maximize casualties.

Indian officials first pointed the finger at the United Liberation Front of Assam, a separatist movement in the state. UFLA has denied any involvement in the attack.

Police accused "jihadi" groups of conducting the strike. "The needle of suspicion points to jihadi outfits who are behind subversive activities in the state," a police official told The Hindu. Police have detected the explosive RDX in at least two of the bombs. RDX has been used by Islamist terror groups in past attacks in India.

The primary suspect in the attacks is the Bangladesh-based Harkat ul Jihad al Islami, or HuJI-B. This terror group has been behind multiple bombings in India over the past several years. Police have sealed the border with Bangladesh. Troops on the border have been "put on maximum alert," The Hindu reported.

Background on the HUJI-B and allied Indian terror groups

The Bangladeshi branch of HuJI was established in 1992 "with assistance from Osama bin Laden�s International Islamic Front," according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal.

HuJI-B fighters are recruited from madrassa, or religious schools, in Bangladesh and are trained in al Qaeda and Taliban camps Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Bangladeshi terror group plays a crucial role in training jihadists "from southern Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Brunei" and providing manpower for al Qaeda's affiliates in Jammu and Kashmir, Afghanistan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Chechnya
