    Bugger. I guess Pakistan is upset over not being the centre of attention anymore, especially with the drawdown in Afghanistan.
    In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.

      Cops detain 2 aides of ISI suspect Hussain in Chennai
      CHENNAI: A day after the arrest of Sakir Hussain, 37, a suspected ISI agent from Sri Lanka, in Chennai on Tuesday, the Tamil Nadu 'Q' branch police have picked up two more people from the city. Sources said the two suspects were closely working with Hussain.

      "A person from Choolaimedu and another from Sowcarpet were picked up on Wednesday. A special team is investigating their involvement in Hussain's scheme of things," an officer said. Hussain, who was arrested in a joint operation by Central intelligence agencies and the Tamil Nadu police, was on an assignment to recruit people for terror activities in the southern states and circulate fake Indian currency notes.

      Sources said he was taking orders from two senior officials - Siddique and Shah- in the Pakistani high commission in Colombo. "Sakir confessed that he met the Pakistani officials many times in the past one year and sent photographs and maps of US Consulate in Chennai and Israel Consulate in Bangalore. He visited Chennai six times in the past one year on fake passports. Sometimes he came here as a textile and pharma merchant, and stayed in a lodge called 'White House' in Mannady.

      A source said Hussain was arrested by Singapore police for spying, and he had spent three years in a prison there. "He was also detained in Bangkok," the source said.
      On a recce for US and Israel interests but targets a railway station instead?

          Perhaps they found those two strongly guarded structures to be too hard to hit.
          Poor people in a train are easier to get at.

            It is too early to comment.
            The intensity of the bombs were low, so it could be anyone foreign or domestic.
            I doubt the LTTE angle as there is nothing to gain for them, but only loose the public support that they enjoy amongst many locals.

            Cheers!...on the rocks!!

              The lady who died was on her way home to discuss/plan her wedding. Very sad. RIP.
