There was a terrorist attack in India according to the news. I don't know what they are going to achieve by attacking people. It just means no one will like them or their religion if they continue doing that.

The cowards should be caught and brought to justice.

The dust hasn't settled and it is hard to assess anything until the media gets past their sensationalism phase, but it may be helpful to put the attack in perspective.

The terrorists reportedly came in by sea from Karachi in Pakistan. A boat laden with explosives was recovered later at night off the Gateway of India.

Looking past the hype there was even a more deadly attack in Mumbai two years ago, yet Mumbai remains a striving city.
