1) Executive Summary
a) What Happened? On 26 Nov 08–29 Nov 08, a Pakistani based militant organization ‐ Lashkar‐e‐Taiba (LeT), possibly with the aid of Indian militants – infiltrated the neighboring country of India by sea and attacked a police station, two hotels, a Jewish center, a hospital, a train station, a cinema and café in the city of Mumbai. The attacks left 179 dead and over 300 wounded. Among the casualties were many foreigners and 14 police officers. Most of the attacks consisted of small arms fire along with the use of grenades and bombs. In at least one case, torture was used by the perpetrators on their victims.
The Attacks had the effect of increasing tension between India and Pakistan. India subsequently moved troops to its border with Pakistan. In response, Pakistan moved significant Military Units to the Indian border and away from the Tribal regions adjacent to Afghanistan. This is an area of high U.S. Interest in the war against the Taliban and the on‐going search for Osama Bin Laden. Ironically, as a possible indicator of increased U.S. Intelligence capability, ABC News reported on December 1, 2008 that the U.S. had previously warned India of possible attacks launched from the sea against hotels and business centers in Mumbai.
Further, the Mumbai attack targeted hotels and train stations, and other critical infrastructure sectors. This was not the first such terrorist attack to do so, and it had much in common with the Beslan Russia School Hostage situation in that it played out for days and received much more media coverage than a single car bomb or even multiple car bombs would. Finally it appears that the attackers were using drugs to stay awake for the long period of the incident which enabled them to maintain security with fewer attackers.
b) Relevance to U.S. Homeland and U.S. Interests Overseas. The same group is believed capable of operations within the United States. This attack showed that U.S. Cities might be partially vulnerable to “Mumbai like” waterborne attacks. However, In terms of the small arms and explosives aspects of the attacks, since the massacre at Columbine High School, many U.S. cities have done at least some training in handling “Active Shooter” incidents. U.S. Cities also generally have well‐trained S.W.A.T. Teams to handle such incidents.
The vulnerable sectors in the U.S. are the hotels and other public locations along with the responsiveness of the State and Local Command Authority to act quickly to resolve the situation. The remedy is to upgrade hotel and other public sector “Immediate Action Plans” and integrate them fully with law enforcement responses as has been done in places like New York and Las Vegas to allow for a much more successful result than in Mumbai:
At TSSI, we believe that a Mumbai‐type exercise should be held in every U.S. city and Immediate Action Plans developed to handle such an operation. To be accurate, it must be noted that detailed access and “Immediate Action” plans for responders to act in harmony with on‐site security are much more widespread in major U.S. cities than in places like Mumbai. However, the need exists to create those plans where they don’t exist, review the plans that are extant, and exercise the new or existing plans in all cities.
2) Order of Battle
a) Perpetrators.
i) Lashkar‐e‐Taiba (LeT).
(1) In Mumbai attack phase ‐ between 10 and 30 young Pakistani men.
(2) In support operations an estimated 10‐to‐30 personnel who were based in Pakistan and may have also conducted part of the reconnaissance in Mumbai, possibly with the assistance of Indian citizens.
(3) TSSI ANALYSIS ‐ This type of operation requires significant casing, rehearsal, financing, training and an extensive support network to aid the fighters. The Indian police claim that there were a total of only 10 terrorists. However, witness accounts and confiscation of equipment indicates there could have been up to 25‐to‐30 involved. Nine were confirmed killed and the Indian police captured an individual who they claim to be the sole known remaining survivor, Muhammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, who was arrested during the attacks and has been in custody ever since. This claim may be overstated and it is possible several attackers successfully escaped in the fog of battle.
Through questioning, police have been able to paint a better picture of exactly what went on throughout the event, as well as the development of the attack leading up to the 26thof November. Kasab explained there were a total of 30 recruits selected for suicide missions and they were provided with highly specialized training, including Marine combat skills. Once selected by the Lashkar leadership, they were sequestered in a house for three months. They were divided into two‐man teams; each assigned a different target in Mumbai to attack and were forbidden to share the information with one another.
Ten recruits arrived together in Mumbai and, according to Kasab, they never saw the other 20 trainees again. Each of the men had aliases, and they knew each other only by those aliases during their training. Each attacker carried a dozen grenades, a 9‐millimeter handgun with two 18‐round clips and an AK‐47 with seven to nine 30‐round magazines and more than 100 rounds of loose ammunition. The recruits were trained to conserve their ammunition, fire in short bursts, and prepare to hold out against security forces for as long as possible. Each terrorist also carried a 17.6 lb bomb; three were recovered and defused, while others exploded during the attacks. Each attacker also had a cell phone to communicate with leadership as well as GPS handsets.
[INSERT-SEE: WARNING: Government will shut down all cell phones during next FALSE FLAG ATTACK!!!]
http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=79019.0
b) Security Forces.
i) India has a National Anti‐terrorism Unit but it is located in New Delhi ‐ over 8 hours away. Post‐incident, Indian authorities said they would station Ant‐terrorism units in 4 other cities including Mumbai.
ii) Mumbai Police. Local Police apparently were not trained, or not willing to conduct aggressive life‐saving operations against what U.S. Police would call “Active Shooters”. Mumbai's Anti‐Terrorism Squad Chief Hemant Karkare, was among those killed by the attackers in an apparent serious tactical error.
3) Chronological Incident Description
a) Pre‐Incident
i) Historical. (Source: Anti Defamation League) Overview. Lashkar‐e‐Taiba (LET), a Pakistani‐based Islamic terrorist organization, seeks to drive out Indian security forces from the disputed Jammu and Kashmir regions of South Asia and establish an Islamic caliphate. Various intelligence services consider LET to be one of the most dangerous Islamic militant groups operating in Kashmir. Known for its expertise in suicide bombing and conventional assault tactics, LET has carried out many deadly attacks, including a raid on the Indian Parliament in 2002, which killed 14.
Although the organization stopped claiming responsibility for attacks after it was ostensibly banned by Pakistan in 2002, Indian authorities have arrested many LET operatives in connection with attacks in the region. The group was founded in the late 1980’s with the help of the Pakistani government (which also opposes the Indian presence in Kashmir) as the armed wing of the Markaz al‐Dawa wa al‐Irshad, an Islamic social welfare group. LET, which was also inspired by Osama bin Laden, continues to maintain close ties with Al Qaeda.
Intelligence services have discovered that, before its camps were destroyed by the United States in 2001, Al Qaeda frequently hosted and trained LET operatives. Conversely, since the destruction of those camps, LET has hosted Al Qaeda trainees and other Islamic militants, including Shahzad Tanweer, one of the suicide bombers in the July 7, 2005 London Underground attack, according to British authorities. Additionally, senior Al Qaeda leaders, such as Abu Zubeida have been arrested at LET compounds.
Major Previous Attacks
(1) October 29, 2005: Three coordinated suicide bombs in New Delhi during Hindu festival of Diwali killed at least 63 and wounded over 200.
(2) August 25, 2003: Double bombing in Bombay (Mumbai) killed 52 and wounded 175.
(3) September 24, 2002: Raid on Akshardam Temple in Gujarat killed 28 Hindu worshippers.
(4) December 13, 2001: Raid on Indian Parliament killed at least 14.
U.S.‐Related Activities
Designated by the U.S. as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Several American citizens, including members of the so‐called “Virginia Jihad Network,” were convicted of training at LET camps in Kashmir and Pakistan, as well as other related terrorism charges.
LET operatives have reportedly been recruited for planned Al Qaeda attacks on American interests and the organization is believed to have operatives already in the U.S.
b) Incident Specific. It is evident that significant planning, casing and rehearsals went into this operation. This type of coordination requires significant scouting, financing, training and an extensive support network to aid the fighters. The fighters (at least 1 in each cell) appear to have previously been to each of their assigned targets and were very familiar with the physical layout and procedures at each target location.
c) Active Incident. Nov 26. A ship was seized and the attackers launched from that “mother ship” in small inflatable craft and landed in Mumbai. Once ashore, the attackers moved to the Calaba police station ‐ most likely as a single unit ‐ and attacked. The group then broke into smaller teams and headed for their assigned targets. At least one police van was hijacked and the terrorists drove around the city firing automatic weapons from the truck at random targets. These included; the train station (Chhatrapati Shivaji), The Café’ Leopold, The Cama Hospital, The Metro Cinema, The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and the Oberoi Hotel.
Several bombs or grenades were tossed into the lobbies and in other areas of the hotels, and gunmen opened fire indiscriminately in the hotel lobbies, at the café, cinema, train station, and the Chabad‐Lubavitch Jewish Center. Throughout the attacks, the gunmen specifically targeted those with foreign passports, most notably American, British, and Israeli. The attackers also held hostages. This hostage situation proved to be the most difficult for police to handle, especially at the hotels. It was not until over 200 National Security Guards, commandos, and other Naval and Army forces were deployed to Mumbai that the situation was brought under control on November 29.
d) Post Incident. India found evidence of the attack being launched and trained for in Pakistan. As a result, India moved troops to the Pakistani Border. Pakistan responded by repositioning troops from the tribal regions near Afghanistan where they were involved in the hunt for the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden and moved significant troops to oppose Indian Forces along their common border.
5) TSSI’s Assessment of Security Implications and Recommendations
a. Provide law enforcement personnel with the most up to date blueprints or layouts of your buildings, to include any new construction or remodeling of the structure;
b. Invite your local police to visit your facility so they have an idea of the layout;
c. Train your personnel to be observant of suspicious activity, which may include surveillance, stolen uniforms or badges, vehicles, or any other unusual, out of the ordinary event which makes you think.
d. Review your facilities constantly to determine if additional steps can be taken to improve physical security.
e. Make sure you have crisis and “Immediate Action” plans in place in the event of an emergency at your facility;
f. If you have such plans, please provide them to local law enforcement, to include the local JTTF, and walk through or exercise them with local law enforcement.
g. Ensure your personnel know to call 911 in the event of an emergency.
h. Always be vigilant to an unusual event and report them to local law enforcement and to the Transportation Security Operations Center Surface Watch at 703‐563‐3263.
[INSERT: Vigilant against what? Non-existent terror threats to keep people in a perpetual state of fear and concern? Vigilant just like the criminal CACI, hey you scumbag pieces of trash?]
6) Intelligence Implications and Recommendations
• Intelligence Operations that discern capabilities and intentions of adversary groups must be first rate.
• The best “intelligence” is often that which you develop yourself. For example, The World Trade Center detected casing and surveillance activity prior to 9‐11. The Pentagon also detected casing and surveillance activity prior to 9‐11. The information gleaned from security forces and employees at potential target sites must be respected, collected, analyzed and disseminated for action. Programs such as the “First Observer™” program that TSSI supports on behalf of DHS‐TSA allow for exactly that type of intelligence collection.
7) Public Policy Implications and Recommendations
• The Public has to be part of Public Safety. In an effort to interdict Terrorist Operations before attacks are pressed home, programs that train employees at potential terrorist target sites to be alert for possible casing, surveillance and other pre‐cursor terrorist operations are very valuable. These People must be encourage to Observe, Assess and Report ANY suspicious activity.
• The public must also be attuned to threats they might observe in public places. Unattended packages, unattended large vehicles, and the like are things that the public should report if they seem the least bit suspicious or are in a location where, if they were in fact concealed weapons, they could do great danger.
• In the event of an actual attack, employees must know what is expected of them in an appropriate Immediate Action Drill. These drills must be trained to. The recent emergency landing of an US Airways jet on the Hudson River, resulting in all 155 persons on board surviving, is an example of employees and the public who understood there was a drill to be followed and followed it. [INSERT: WTF?]
• Immediate Actions Drills for unarmed Employees and the Public should include but not be limited to: Evacuation, Shelter in Place, Assembly and Accountability.

Sane - I agree.
Many Israeli's are recent immigrants from Russia.
Maybe I lean in that direction because of the arrest of Israeli's around the fringes of the 9-11 events.
Prof. Peter Dale Scott has written a little noticed article about a Russian company called Far West Ltd., which he believes is an international partner with VP Cheney's former firm Halliburton KBR, and a firm called New Bridges which is now run by the head of FEMA on 9-11 Joe Allbaugh. And this company is run by former Russian KGB, Army and narcs who made their bones (and their money) in Afghanistan. And he shows evidence this company was involved with the FSB (new KGB) in the false flag Moscow apartment bombings, covered by AJ and PP, which boosted Putin to power and gave a pretext for the Chechen war. This company is involved in the arms, mercenary, security and drugs business in Afghanistan, Iraq, (Soviet) Georgia and Columbia. He also shows evidence they connect to some of the potential players in the 9-11 attacks - Cheney, Albaugh, Pakistani ISI, Israeli Mossad.
And how in the world would National Guard be activated BEFORE WTC 7 falls? Maybe there is an innocent explanation but it seems strange.

The "Russian 9/11" in 1999: Bombings and Plans for War
Russia has been familiar for some time with charges that the bombings in Moscow in 1999, and an accompanying invasion of Russian Dagestan that rekindled the ongoing war in neighboring Chechnya, were both planned by representatives of the Islamist element in the Chechen resistance, in collusion with a representative of the Russian Kremlin.
Read synoptically, these stories indicate that the well-connected drug-trafficking meta-group, with connections to both the Kremlin and the CIA, arranged in advance for the bombings and invasion at the meeting in July 1999, at a French villa owned by the superrich arms merchant Adnan Khashoggi. The group allegedly operated with support from Saudi Arabia and organized global drug trafficking, some of it probably through Kosovo.
The group's business front, Far West, Ltd., is said to have CIA-approved contractual dealings with Halliburton for geopolitical purposes in the Caucasus, as well as dealings in Iraq with Diligence LLC, a group with connections to Joe Allbaugh (the FEMA chief in 2001) and to the President's younger brother Neil Bush. The head of Far West recently told a Russian outlet that "a well-known American corporation... is a co-founder of our agency."[10]
The evidence for this western face of the group is laid out in an article by a so-called Yuri Yasenev, which is clearly a compilation of extracts from intelligence reports, on a Russian website.[11] The article is cited – very selectively – as authoritative by a reputable Hoover Institution scholar, John B. Dunlop.[12] But Dunlop completely ignores, one might say, suppresses, Yasenev's case as I have summarized it above. He uses the article instead to document a more familiar case: that in 1999 the Yeltsin "family" in the Kremlin dealt with this same group to create what might be called the "Russian 9/11."

New Bridge was established in May [2003] and came to public attention because of the Republican heavyweights on its board – most linked to one or other Bush administration [officials] or to the family itself. Those include Joe Allbaugh, George W. Bush's presidential campaign manager, and Ed Rogers and Lanny Griffith, former George H.W. Bush aids.[90]
Joe Allbaugh, the co-chairman of the company, was also head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), on the day of the 9/11 attacks, and indeed until March 2003, the month that the U.S. invaded Iraq.

My personal suggestion to 9/11 researchers is that they focus on the connections of the meta-group's firm Far West, Ltd. – in particular those which lead to Khashoggi, Berezovskii, Halliburton and Dick Cheney, and Diligence, Joe Allbaugh, and Neil Bush.
AK: And I would add, the information from Sibel Edmonds that this group ties into disloyal neocons like Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, Grossman, Hastert and others, and their ties to the Turkish-Israeli-Pakistani drugs/arms smuggling and money laundering groups. Also: NOTE THAT CHENEY AND ALLBAUGH WERE RUNNING THE EXERCISES ON 9-11 THAT PUT E4-B'S IN THE AIR OVER DC, NY AND PENN/OHIO, AND SENT EAST COAST FIGHTER JETS TO CANADA, AND PUT FEMA MEN ON THE GROUND IN NYC ON 9-10-01.

Michael Howard and spooks on brink of Rothschild funding deal
Sunday, 18 February 2007
Diligence, the corporate intelligence firm founded by former spies and chaired by the one-time Conservative leader Michael Howard, is close to striking a major investment deal with a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty. The company, thought to be valued at around £30m, is understood to be in talks with an investment business called JNR, run by Nathaniel Rothschild, son of Lord Jacob Rothschild.
Under the proposed deal, Diligence's majority shareholder - a South American private equity firm - will sell part of its 60 per cent stake. It is also thought that group chairman Richard Burt, the former US Assistant Secretary of State and chief arms control negotiator in the first Bush administration, will sell his 12 per cent holding and then leave the company. Mr Howard is European chairman.
Diligence declined to comment. However, sources close to the situation believe a deal could be struck within weeks. Diligence was founded in 2000 by Nick Day, a former MI5 spy who also served in the Special Boat Service, and ex-CIA agent Mike Baker, who no longer works for the company.
Mr Howard joined on a part-time basis last year. He also sits on Diligence's advisory board beside Judge William Webster, a former director of the CIA and FBI, and Edward Mathias, a managing director of private equity group Carlyle, among others.
Diligence describes itself as an "intelligence gathering and risk management" firm. Like its larger rival Kroll, it has built a reputation advising clients on a range of sensitive issues, such as investigating fraud and money laundering, vetting potential overseas partners and providing security.
The business has grown rapidly since its inception, and now boasts offices around the world, including London, Washington, Moscow and Hong Kong. The new investment, should the Rothschild deal go ahead, will allow it to continue expanding its operations. It is particularly focused on growing its presence in Asia.
However, the group is not without its controversial side. Clients are understood to have included Halliburton, US Vice-President Dick Cheney's former firm, while heavyweight Republican lobbying outfit Barbour Griffith & Rogers has invested in the business in the past.
Diligence settled a dispute with accountancy giant KPMG out of court last year. The legal row centered on claims that Diligence staff had impersonated MI6 officers in order to steal information.
