At the end of what the Indian media were quickly referred to as the "September 11 of the India", the human record is heavy: 172 people, including 27 foreigners, including two French (read below), were killed in Bombay, and more than 300 are injured. The Minister of the Indian Interior, Shivraj Patil, presented yesterday his resignation, taking "moral" responsibility for the carnage.
If the India is unfortunately familiar of terrorism more of 3.600 people there have died in attacks between January 2004 and March 2007, a figure that only the Iraq surpassed the same period this series of attacks comes to Bombay brand however a turning point. In its procedure first, since the attackers clearly trained as soldiers, chose to attack simultaneously to multiple targets, and resorted to heavy weapons rather than suicide attacks. In its objectives then: this time, these are symbols of Indian economic success and the foreign populations that were covered. Strategy media sadly, since the injury, this time, is international, contrary to recent attacks against the country, despite human balance sometimes extremely heavy. On the diplomatic front, these attacks threaten to revive tensions between the India and Pakistan, two holders of nuclear weapons. As early as Friday, the Indian authorities announced that some attackers were from Pakistani Kashmir. Indian Prime Minister has singled out of the armed groups based "outside" of the India. Very quickly, but Pakistani authorities have shown solidarity with New Delhi, inviting them to not to draw hasty conclusions and showing their willingness to fight "the common enemy" posed by terrorism.
Combating terrorism
The equation is sensitive to New Delhi, which has no great interest to destabilize the power in Islamabad. Is already in need of legitimacy with a population that supports evil its docility to the US strikes in Pakistani regions border of the Afghanistan. The Pakistani President, Azif Ali Zardari, seems, indeed, sincere in its desire to combat terrorism. Widower of Benazir Bhutto, herself killed by Islamists, it faces frequent attacks on its soil. In recent weeks, he had, in addition fact remarkable gestures of openness to New Delhi, pledging to not make use of the atomic weapon and defensive manner, calling his greeting the establishment of a common economic space with the India, and daring to speak of "terrorists" on Kashmir fighters. But its margin for manoeuvre seems close to the secret services Pakistan, known for their incestuous links with Islamist terrorism. Illustration of this problem: while the Prime Minister of Pakistan had proposed, in the hours that followed the beginning of the attack in Bombay, the Chief of the Pakistani information on-site, he finally promised to dispatch as a "representative".
Whatever the consequences of these attacks on indo-Pakistani relations, they threaten, in any case, further weakening the India at the time when its economy was beginning to give signs of downturn. Even if growth was 7.6 in the second quarter, a figure slightly above expectations, economists expect now to expand between 6.5 and 7 this year, a sharp drop after the 9.4 last year. Victim of the return of the timidity on the financial world, the Bombay Stock Exchange has lost more than half of its value since its highest because of new concerns about the economic future of the country. On this plan, the Mumbai attacks may not arrange.
