NEW DELHI: The unequivocal and unprecedented support that has come from the US government against Pakistan based terrorists outfits in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attack is not incidental.

Reliable sources in government told Express that two senior espionage officials from the US were among the eight Americans killed in the Mumbai terror attacks. These two senior officials, a man and a woman, were in a meting at Taj hotel when it was raided by heavily armed terrorists of the Pakistan-based Lashkar- e-Taiba. Holed up in a hotel room, both of them fell to terrorists' bullets late in the night on November 27. The news, sources said, even rankled the White House. The Taj hotel was attacked by four heavily-armed LeT terrorists at around 9.30 pm on November 26 was finally declared safe after more than 50 hours gun battle NSG commandos and Navy's Marcos on November 28. Investigations later revealed that Taj was attacked by highly trained LeT terrorists viz. Hafeez Arshad alias Bada Abdul Rehman from Multan, Javed alias Abu Ali from Okara, Shoaib alias Soheb from Sialkot and Nazeer alias Abu Umer from Faizalabad.

Unfortunately, the two espionage officials, in their middle age, had come to Taj to evaluate the threat perception in case a terrorist attack was launched from the nearby sea. They were at Taj after being alerted by the CIA, the espionage agency of the US about a terrorist attack on the hotel.

Al Qaeda in future could attack US , UK , Israel , Denmark Embassies and Consulates in India. These Jehadis can target the US Aid , British Council , Offices of Western Multinationals ,etc. We must alert and all the guard all the time and remember,

We are under Attack

We are at with Islamists

We must win this war inorder to save the civilisation.

All the means and methods are fare in this war to destroy this World Jehadi Terror War..
