MUMBAI, INDIA


The recent Terror Attacks in Mumbai may have been avoidable if only the Indian government took caution to a US warning. The US warned India before the Mumbai attacks, a senior Bush administration official said today, fueling criticism of the Indian government's lack of preparedness. Several top Indian officials have resigned after the attacks that claimed at least 172 lives and injured more than 300. Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, yesterday became the latest official to offer his resignation over alleged warnings about terrorist activities that were not acted upon. Maybe the minister did not take the US warnings serious because of the trust and truth relationship the U.S. holds with foreign nations. The terror attack was one of many that could possbily have been halted.
