Were the New Delhi Bomb Blasts planned using Google Earth?

Now just two posts down the line I wrote about how much a threat Google Earth could be. How much would it help in planning terror strikes... and just a few days later there are terror strikes in New Delhi with bombs set off at three locations.

I wonder how many speculate the idea of Google Earth being used for these attacks. Well, if Google earth was used, then it was a terrible success for the terrorists aka Jehadis! Well, how would have this software helped in setting up bomb sites? While we all were concerned about the Parliament House and Rashtrapati Bhawan, we forgot the common man, didn't we? Well, why do we keep forgetting that if terrorists were so noble (killing politicians, which i would do eagerly myself!) why would we call them terrorists? These SOB's take innocent lives, they hit those, who have nothing to do with the political bullshit because of which the whole thing happens in the first place.

Anyway, once again trying to look at what exactly the terrorists would look at in Google Earth to plan any of these bomb blasts? Yes, they can locate the Paharganj market easily and also Sarojni nagar market with similar ease. Now since the photographs are two years old, and since there has been severe infrastructure changes, all they could have relied upon was the old shop buildings and the roads. That is, they could have planned their entry and exit from the places (even spotted the narrow lanes which could serve as back ups), they could have judged the most crowded places in the area and hence finalised upon where to place the bomb. That done, all that comes next is to wait for the big explosion, and say 'Mission Accomplished' to their big fellas!

Hmm... but what I still want to analyse is the level of use that this software called Google Earth would have served to these SOB's. Wait till we zero upon a few facts from the police and media and hence be able to carry out some researches on our own.

Serial Bomb Blasts Rock New Delhi

A series of explosions rocked Delhi on Saturday evening, killing at least 65 people and leaving scores injured, some of them critically.As many as 20 people have been killed in an explosion in Sarojini Nagar market and 15 others have reportedly been killed in Paharganj.Most of those injured or killed in the explosions were ordinary people out shopping in the festival season. Suspects detainedAt least ten people have been detained following the three blasts in Delhi. Five of them were picked up from the New Delhi Railway station and others from other railway stations and bus terminals. It is now believed that high explosive devices suspected to be RDX were used in carrying out the blasts. Police have raided several hotels in Paharganj and other places in and around the Capital.Prime Minister Manmohan Singh cut short his visit to the Northeast and returned to Delhi from Kolkata. He described the serial blasts as "dastardly acts of terrorism"."The terrorists wish to spread a sense of fear and suspicion among peace-loving people. These blasts have been timed to create disaffection during the festive season when people of all communities are celebrating our national festivals. "We shall defeat their nefarious designs and will not allow them to succeed. We are resolute in our commitment to fight terror in all forms," the Prime Minister said.

A red alert has been sounded across several places in the country including neighbouring Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Mumbai and Kolkata. Home Minister Shivraj Patil called a high-level emergency meeting at 9 pm (IST) to review the situation and discuss security operations.The Home Minister said it was too early to pinpoint who was responsible for the blasts. "As to who is responsible for the blasts, we will not like to jump to any conclusion. The first priority is to give relief and succour to those affected by the blasts," the Home Minister said. Congress President Sonia Gandhi visited the injured in hospitals. Extending her condolences to the families of those killed in the blasts, she described the incidents as acts of terrorism."Terrorism is a menace that we all have to face and fight together. This is not only a phenomenon here in our country. This is something that the whole world has to face. It is important that we all together fight it together," said Gandhi.

What's up with these militants taking innocent lives???

Finally the dooms day struck...
What the hell? What do these psycho islamists want by taking innocent lives?
Who can understand their psychology? What do they want? The world doesn't seem to have an answer to that. Whats the cure of this disease?

Most terrorist training camps exist in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. The best solution is to wipe the area clean of any armed personal, be it Pakistani soldier or whosoever. I believe the world should unit against the Terrorist organisations in Pakistan.

Someone soon come up with a solution... please for God sake.

The Google Earth Hype

Although I do not understand why the Indian media is giving Google Earth so much hype, and critisizing the detail at which it has exposed various Indian cities. Well matter of factly, only four Indian cities have actually been shown in good detail.

• New Delhi and NCR (Near Capital Region) i.e. Noida, Gurgaon etc
• Mumbai and nearby areas
• Hyderabad
• Banglore

As such there is nothing that serious about these cities being exposed in the said detail. First of all, most photographs are quite old and hence do not hold much threat to the military areas exposed.
In any case, we are not the only ones exposed by Google, many important cities in the world have been clearly shown in Earth.

Who should be concerned the most are people in United States. Common! we have all major US cities in 3D details. Maybe Osama's troops can now actually sit back, relax and estimate the tallest building in New York and then target it for some terrorist attack.
As far as military intelligence is concerned, most Air bases in the US have been exposed. Rather even the Area 51 has been clearly exposed.

Well I don't overlook the danger that our own country faces from such attack plannings. Now the terrorists can probably plan which routes to take to reach Rashtrapati bhawan, and which routes to use for the exit. Even the doors and entrances can be seen. A well equipped group could even decide upon snipping locations and assault positions.

But then what is it? Just another commodity in the belts of the bad guys. Who made a fuss when email was invented, practically one of the best ways for terrorists to communicate? Oh yeah I hear some computer guys groaning... although the email was invented in the US a lot of time before 9/11 and hence during a time when US didn't know what terrorism was. But even today e-mail is the most secure method of communication between any two people. The men in white but with heart of titanium use it for some of the best killing spree's even today.

Even today when we have learnt so much from past experiences, we continue to have cyber cafe's which have no user information logging howsoever. Hence virtually anyone can use the email with encrypted messages for conveying the most disasterous messages to their head quarters.

To conclude this, the media should take things little sensibily and realise that every new invention has two faces, the good and the bad... and may be the ugly too. With every new invention, we invent a new way for a person to die. Lets just try and get the official No-Fly-Zones removed from the maps. That is the best that can be done, and that should be done.

A Debate on the word 'United'

Well, me and my friends had this hour long debate on 'United'.
Can you figure out what this word means?
"Combined into a single entity."
Thats an ordinary definition. Usually we use it in a broader context. Allied nations have united in the war on terrorism. Well, yeah exactly. Here we use the word united against an entity, terrorism.

Most sentences using the word united are bred in the same context. So most sentences having the word united have three entities/groups. Two of them get together and the third one is still divided from the two, or better to say, stands as a platform against whom the first two entities unite.

So what if this third entity didn't exist at all? Say there was no terrorism at all! Would the Allied nations unite then? What would we say? "The Allied Nations have united!" Against what? will be the casual question raised. If two groups are uniting without a third entity, we would prefer to use some other words instead, like e.g. The Allied nations have strengthened their political ties, or improved their business relations etc. If two entities were on war, we would rather say that the two entities now have settled for peace.

So whenever we use the word UNITED, there has to be three entities minimum. Two that unite, and third which serves as the basis of unity.

As a matter of conclusion, the word UNITED is quite ironic. Apart from actually consolidating two entities, it makes sure that their exists a boundary/division with the third one. Hence there can be no unity without division, or better to say, division preludes and succeeds unity.

Irony hence proved... :-)
