One if by Land, Two if by Sea

In the grand tradition of pirates, freebooters, Vikings, looters, raiders, raptors, Norsemen, pillagers & plunderers since time immemorial, it appears the religious right terrorist attacks in Mumbai were an amphibious operation.

"We also found a dead body in the vessel," Commandant Kulpreet Yadav told Reuters. "We took the boat under tow and handed it over to the police for investigation."

Indian investigators say the militants who attacked Mumbai, killing around 120 people, arrived by sea in rubber dinghies, but are trying to trace the ship which ferried them close to the city.

[...]

Newspapers say three of the militants arrested have confessed to being Pakistani members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group. The NDTV news channel, citing unnamed sources, said the Indian-owned trawler had been hijacked in Pakistani waters 14 days ago.

Anyone interested in a pool on the use of nukes by India or Pakistan?
