One of the things to learn out of the terroristic attacks in Mumbai last week is that the war on terrorism has changed again. From the individual muslim terrorist, who had been brainstormed enough to pull a string or push a button in order to take himself - in a lot of bits and pieces - together with as many as possible Western infidels to his creator who would be waiting for him in order to give him a handfull of virgins out of gratitude, international terrorism has evolved into a well-trained force of commandos who are able to fight a guerrilla war in major cities. These commandos had been planning the terrorist attacks with military precision. The recce, timing and the execution of the plans made me think of how well these bastards were trained. And every military officer will admit that one of the most difficult wars to fight is a guerrilla war in the middle of a city. Therefore, it didn’t come as a surprise to me that the regular troops needed four days to end this criminality.

It struck me as well that these bastards had chosen specific targets to find their victims. In the most “Western-looking city” of India, the symbol of the economic power which India has become, they chose a station and two luxurious hotels where they were certain to find enough Western / foreign victims as an attraction for  the media of the world, so they could become a part of history as the executioners of the “Indian 9/11″.

Now that these terrorists are becoming more and more professional, the biggest threat is that this can, and unfortunately will happen again. Anywhere, anytime.

We will have to learn to live with that threat of terrorism, whether we like it or not.
