03 Top Police Officials Death,By: N K Rao | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:22:53 PM Reply | Forward The death of these 03 top officials is an irrepairable loss to the country

Death OF Top Police OfficersBy: agpathania | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:15:01 PM Reply | Forward May their soles rest in peace. But if the version of the injured Constable is correct and factual, then there have been grave mistakes on the part of these officers.1.When a situation like this is on, then on hearing that one of your officers is injured and in hospital, should not make senior Officers leave areas like CST where a major attack had taken place and rush to hospital. that too all bunched up in a Qualis!!!2. When ever such senior Officers travel the security should never be in the same vehicle as they are in. The security should have been in the only place from where they could have given security cover, that in a vehilce following behind. This is a simple and fundamental principle of security, which even a layman to security as me knows.3. It seems that perhaps they were not aware of the magnitude of the strike and were under the impression that this was some kind of GANG WAR!!!4. Whatever it was Ihope serious lessons have been drawn from this blunder. RIP.

mumbai terrorBy: ajay sadhwani | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:13:07 PM Reply | Forward The biggest problem is that we are reactive and not proactive. In future contingency plans will be made to prevent attacks of this nature from coming to fruition. However, the killers will have by then devised new strategies to succeed with their evil plans. We need younger, intelligent and smarter leaders to manage the nation.

A QuesdtionBy: Ali | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 18:44:30 PM Reply | Forward Sir,Who was the main target of Mumbai attacks ? IS it the the ATS top brass , who were doing professionally investigation of the Malegaon blast. And to show that they were not the target many innocent peoples have to give their lives.

Death of a heroBy: margazhi mama | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 18:42:25 PM Reply | Forward It is too much of a concidence that 2 terrorist stepped out from behind a tree and the first (police) vehicle they tried to comandeer was that of the ATS chief. Link this with the fact that the terrs inside the Taj Hotel cheered when they heard of the death of Karkare. Who in the ATS was feeding info about their chief's movements to the terrs? What was the true message that was conveyed to Karkare to make him go from CST to Cama hospital?

Mr. Karkare's death a mystery.By: Ray Kumar | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 16:57:07 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Karkare's death a mystery.As rightly said by Indian "third version of the story" we smell some fishy thing in the death of Mr. Karkare, vijay salaskar, Ashok Kamte and the three constables. The void created by them, I don't think will be filled. May their soul rest in peace and may Almighty give strength to their families to bear the loss. We are proud of you and we salute you all.

will we ever know the truthBy: Bhanu Mehta | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 16:53:44 PM Reply | Forward The top officers were on way to Cama Hospital, just a 10-minute drive from CST station, to check on another injured officer Sadanand Date.I would have thought that when there is a serious crises top officers would rush to the place of crime and try to catch or kill terrorist and not rush to the hospital to see a injured police personal was is the chief of the aTS or the police welfare officer

Karkare - the true Indian........By: Asadulgaba | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 16:46:16 PM Reply | Forward This seems to be a totally different terrorist attack. It was only the favour of certain rightistelements to kill karkare. The terrorists running around Mumbai streets would impossibly plan, detect and kill karkare.
