Sophisticated Attacks, but by Whom?

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in coming days.  It could follow along the trend of emergent terrorism with members of the group having an affinity for, but no formal connections, to AQ.

A day after the terror attacks in Mumbai that killed over 100 people, one question remained as impenetrable as the smoke that still billowed from two of the city’s landmark hotels: who carried out the attacks?

The Indian authorities say they captured some of the attackers, so some answers may emerge soon. But for now, their identities remain a mystery. Surviving witnesses recalled the gunmen as masked young men in unremarkable T-shirts and jeans, some heavily armed, wearing backpacks filled with weapons. The only claim of responsibility came from a group that may not even exist. (NY Times)
