“According to sources, for some time the directions kept coming “live” to the terrorists in Mumbai via satellite phones.”

I was watching this live over a stream from an Indian news channel. Several times they showed one of the terrs standing at a window talking on a telephone. I told my wife that it looked like he was using a sat phone.

This might have been what they were showing. The coverage was all in English by the way. Live streamed over the internet.

I hope to read the following in about three weeks:

“Military strikes were launched in numerous locations in Pakistan with joint U.S. and Indian forces. The Indian government had planned on striking on their own (options included discussion of tactical nuclear weapons) based on the results of their interrogation and analysis of satelite phone signals recorded by both Indian and U.S. intellegence. However, U.S. Secretary of State Rice was able to convince the Indians to use a combined strike force.

At least four urban locations and several remote locations were attacked using both manned and unmanned resources. At least 772 terrorists were killed and several surrendered. It is believed that several high-level terrorists were among the dead but identification is pending. Both conventional and unconventional weapons were captured, as well as a wealth of documents, computers and other resources.

While the Pakistani government offically condemns the attack, a highly placed official says that the attacks were given support by the Pakistanis based on the threat of possible nuclear weapons.”
