`...he [Amir Kasab] and his men were sent specifically to kill Israelis to avenge the "atrocities" against the Palestinians...`

Well, that would explain why the Chabad Center in the Nariman House in Mumbai was attacked, but it doesn`t explain the other 9 targets in the city. If the sole purpose of this terrorist operation was to kill Israelis, then going to Mumbai to do it would be a poor choice since there couldn`t be more than a couple of hundred or so Israelis in the city of 15 million people at any given time and they would be scattered all over the place.

Why were the terrorists at the two large hotels looking for persons with American or British passports? Why did the terrorist who was in phone contact with the media mention Muslim prisoners in Indian (and not in Israeli) prisons and Muslim deaths in Kashmir (and not in Palestine)? No, there`s a bigger reason behind this attack and it has to do with stirring up trouble between India and Pakistan over Kashmir and Jammu.
