"India on alert after bomb kills 9, injures 57; Blast was located in area popular with tourists" by Jim Yardley, New York Times | February 14, 2010
NEW DELHI - Indian authorities issued a national alert yesterday after nine people were killed and at least 57 were wounded in an explosion probably caused by a bomb at a German bakery in a neighborhood popular with foreign tourists in the western Indian city of Pune.
Doesn't matter who did it, Pakistan will get the blame.
Investigative teams from New Delhi were flying to Pune, and the authorities had not linked the probable attack to any terrorist organizations or publicly identified any suspects or motive. But the timing is certain to complicate the recent overture by India to resume the high-level talks with Pakistan that broke off after the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai by Pakistani militants.
Yes, and that age-old question comes into play again.
India has demanded that Pakistan confront domestic terrorist groups as a condition of resuming diplomatic talks.
The Indian home secretary, G.K. Pillai, speaking to reporters last night, said the apparent bomb blast occurred in a Pune neighborhood visited by David Headley, the son of a former Pakistani diplomat who has been charged with helping to plot the Mumbai attacks. Headley is accused of reconnaissance for the attacks for a Pakistan-based terrorist group called Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Yeah, that guy works for the US government. How about that, huh?
Pillai said the police had been alerted in October that Headley “had surveyed 200 yards from the bakery,’’ but he added that it was too early to say whether Lashkar-e-Taiba was involved in the Pune blast....
Give them a couple more days.
The bakery is near the Osho Ashram, a high-end yoga and meditation retreat that caters to visitors from around the world. It is also near a Chabad House that attracts Israeli visitors and is one of many outposts around the world meant to welcome Jewish visitors.
Oh, the STENCH of a FALSE FLAG is WAFTING its WAY into the thought process!!!
In the 2008 Mumbai attacks, a Chabad House was among the sites singled out, along with hotels, a restaurant, and a train station. The attack left 163 people and nine gunmen dead.

In Pune, the police had started their investigation as teams from the Central Bureau of Investigation and the National Investigative Agency were en route from New Delhi. Ashok Chavan, chief minister of the state of Maharashtra, which includes Pune, said investigators initially thought the blast had been caused by a gas explosion before realizing it had been a bomb....
In his interview, Pillai, the home secretary, noted that central intelligence agencies had notified the authorities in Maharashtra last year that Pune could be a terrorist target, based on the investigation of Headley.
Yeah, but SOMEHOW they ALWAYS MAKE IT THROUGH, huh?
Pune is less than 100 miles from Mumbai, which has seen a huge police mobilization in recent days after a right-wing political group threatened to disrupt the opening of a movie.
WTF does one have to do with the other?
Are they trying to subtly imply Hindu extremists?
Chavan had ordered more than 20,000 officers across the state to be posted at movie houses to prevent supporters of the Shiv Sena political party to block the movie’s opening.
I'm perplexed by the addition.
What movie, anyway?

Here are a few things you wouldn't have seen on the agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Globe website:
Photo from printed paper of February 10:
HINDU PILGRIMAGE -- A Hindu holy man held up a sword during a procession conducted as part of the monthslong festival Kumbh Mela in Haridwar, India. The festival is expected to attract more than 10 million people.
That's a LOT of PEOPLE! And it never makes the web?
An how would Gandhi feel about the sword, huh?
Or this: Why Pay Afghanistan When You Can Help This Girl, Mr. Gandhi?
And the man would undoubtedly be appalled at what my local brings:
