Terror sans frontiers

The recent car bomb scare in central London last week has brought the terrorism to a new level. This is the first time when a person of Indian origin was found in terrorist related activities. It just end at that, the person invovled were all doctors. Traditionally, high skilled people including doctors and engineers were always viewed as low risk as they are not the typical mercenaries or brain washed people trained to kill or do suicide bombings. This has certainly elevated it to a new level.
This reminds me of the Al Banna's brotherhood in Egypt, which was made up of middle class muslims most of whom were professionals inclding doctors, engg, architects etc... Sayyid Qutb the guide for the brotherhood is also supposed to have inspired Osama in his early days.
On one hand this seems to be an amateur operations and not backed by Al Qaeda and the likes as he seems to have done his research and operated on his own, the comment by one of AQ leaders saying "Those who cure you will kill you" could mean a possibe connection. Even if not, thier network seemed to have caught this that the MI-5 did not.
The bigger concern is the Indian muslims had never been involved in the world of terror outside. This Indian connection seems to be scary... Al qaeda seems to be spreading like a Mc Donald franchise. They are backing up groups from Indonesia to Kashmir to Iraq to London. I think we need to re-think and take a new approach to curb this terrorism. But one thin is certain; Contrary to the generally accepted dogma, education does not stop terrorism !

"The Dogs Of War"
- Pink Floyd
Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
The dogs of war won't negotiate
The dogs of war don't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
