Condoleezza Rice urges India-Pakistan cooperation amid aftermath of Mumbai (Bombay) attacks (World, 55 articles)
|
India suspects that two senior leaders of a banned Pakistani militant group masterminded last week's three-day terrorist attacks that killed 171 people in Mumbai, an Indian intelligence official said Thursday. India picked up intelligence in recent months that terrorists were plotting attacks against Mumbai targets, an official said Tuesday, as the government demanded that Islamabad hand over suspected terrorists believed living in Pakistan. The discovery Wednesday came as Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee said India is "determined to act decisively" following the attacks, saying the evidence was clear the gunmen came from Pakistan and their handlers are still there. LONDON The attack on India's financial capital bears all the trademarks of al-Qaida simultaneous assaults meant to kill scores of Westerners in iconic buildings but clues so far point to homegrown Indian terrorists, global intelligence officials said Thursday. The only gunman captured during the terror attack on Mumbai says he was promised that his impoverished family would get $1,250 if he died fighting for militant Islam, security officials said Wednesday. With corpses still being pulled from a once-besieged hotel, India's top security official resigned Sunday as the government struggled under growing accusations of security failures following terror attacks that killed 174 people.

Preventing possible bankruptcies driving auto aid push (U.S., 19 articles)
|
One day before the chiefs of the auto companies return to Capitol Hill to make their urgent cases for loans, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the money was unlikely to come from the Wall Street rescue fund. Despite concessions from autoworkers to delay billions in payments to their health care fund for retirees and make changes to its job bank, the auto industry bailout faces an uphill battle in Congress. U.S. Democratic congressional leaders say they want to help prevent the failure of any of America's Big Three auto companies but are not yet ready to make any financial commitments.

A series of bombs struck U.S. and Iraqi security forces in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul on Monday, killing at least 32 people and wounding dozens more, Iraqi officials said. Iraq's Cabinet on Sunday approved a security pact with the United States that will allow American forces to stay in Iraq for three years after their U.N. mandate expires at the end of the year, the government said. Lawmakers loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr on Wednesday disrupted a parliamentary debate ahead of a Nov. 24 vote on a U.S.-Iraqi security agreement that would keep American troops in Iraq for three more years.
