Politics of terror – face of terror in Bombay

There were 10 or more terrorists in Bombay that held the world by the neck. They killed at random, they took hostages, they devastated families, historical properties. The list goes on. At the same time, two political leaders of two opposition parties could not come together. Another comes from Gujarat to Mumbai to offer money to the family of a deceased cop – the same cop he and his party were slandering a day before. One politician comes to Nariman House to hog the limelight when the rescue operations were still underway. Another comes from Kerala to Bangalore to a slain commando's house to hog some limelight.

Bombay was burning and every newspaper in Delhi had political ads where politicians want to take political advantage of the terrorist attacks. Political parties cry foul of the ruling party and wants heads rolling. Heads roll. More to come.

Each one of them wants to do something for himself, even if it does not do anything good to the citizens. This is the real face of terror and we thought there were 10 terrorists in Bombay that had the world by the neck.
