Oh, and, English is official admin language in Pakistan, just like in India. Just speaking ‘fluent English’ is no indicator for a UK connection.
…how can one not know this? I guess many aren’t even aware that Pakistan and India were one country, and only separated after the British relinquished it’s rule over India in 1947. India was my history exams project in highschool, where we learned more than just our own country’s history…
Guy, whether or not English is the official language, plenty of people in Pakistan speak their regional dialect. It’s just like in India: English is the official language, but plenty of people speak a dialect of Hindi or Urdu on a day-to-day basis and don’t speak English. [/quote]
English is only an official language because of the colonial era. Back then it was something that you learned if you wanted to get ahead in life, because you needed to know it if you worked for the British. It’s not something the peasents living off of the land in a remote village had any need to learn so they didn’t. [quote]
The captured terrorist was from some backwater town, apparently. Apparently, some guy in Britain was arrested yesterday in connection with the same group. The Indians were saying one thing until NuLabour officials showed up and now they’re saying something else. [/quote]
Ever since Nulabour came to power they have been doing everything they can get away with to make Britain an islamic state. Part of the Nulabour agenda is covering up the activities of Britains Islamists so people won’t become alarmed and want to change course.
The British still have a lot of pull with the Indians, so they could get them to go along with their agenda. The Indians would have nothing to gain from saying that some of the terrorists were British, but Nulabour could have told them they had mush to lose from letting people know British Pakistanis were involved. Since most of the terrorists were Pakistani there would be nothing to lose saying they all were Pakistani and leaving it there.
Britain by the way is even more unprepared for a Mumbai style attack than India was. The majority of British police are unarmed and untrained in the use of firearms. The British populace is totally unarmed and completely defenseless. If an attack like Mumbai happened in Britain special armed responders would have to be delivered in from a remote site, which would give the terrorists lots of time to go on a rampage.
One valuable lesson that we can learn from Mumbai is that an unarmed populace is a terrorists wet dream, there is a legitimate place in a civilians arsenal for hand guns and assault rifles, but Nulabour will never back down on the gun ban. This is why they would want to convince people that Britsh Pakistanis were not involved.
