Massacre in Mumbai: Up to SEVEN gunmen were British and ‘came from same area as 7/7 bombers’

An update on my report from the Massacre in Mumbai.
I suggested that it looked like a Mossad/CIA with the flavour of MI6
"By some of these reports it's possible the UK secret service were also involved here. "
I was looking at the use of Blackberry phones being used.
"BlackBerry mobile phones seized from some of the captured Islamic extremists... "
Anyone can buy Blackberry phones but all UK politicians and MI6 agents use them by policy.

Again we have to ask Bin's famous question.
"WHO HAD THE MOST TO GAIN ? "

The outcome is that Pakistan and India relations are on a knife edge with troops being moved as if to war.
Who ever did the Mumbai job didn't want Pakistan and India to stay friends.
It's possible that Mossad or CIA paid MI6 to do the job to ensure this "masters question" didn't finger them.

Iran would 'hit US warships' at war

Iran shows here the flying torpedo with speeds up to 386 kmh ... last I heard US war ships avoided such torpedo slightly
under that speed ... at around 70kmh ... thus making a kill sure.
The Russian version flys at just under the speed of sound ...

However I believe the first US war ships to be destroyed in this coming war will be destroyed by Israeli aircraft to ensure the "GBD" [General Brain Dead] in America support nuking Iran and quickly.

Massacre in Mumbai: Up to SEVEN gunmen were British and ‘came from same area as 7/7 bombers’

British-born Pakistanis were among the Mumbai terrorists, Indian government sources claimed today, as the death toll rose to
at least 155.

As many as seven of the terrorists may have British connections and some could be from Leeds and Bradford where
London’s July 7 bombers lived, one source said.

Two Britons were among eight gunmen being held, according to Mumbai’s chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh. At least nine
others are reportedly dead.

The eight arrested were captured by commandos after they stormed two hotels and a Jewish centre to free hostages today.
Despite the Indian authorities’ assurances that the situation was under control, the siege continued at the Taj Mahal hotel and
explosions could still be heard in central Mumbai.

One security official said: ‘There is growing concern about British involvement in the attacks.’

Iran would 'hit US warships' at war

Iran says heavy enemy warships in the Persian Gulf would become prime targets for its forces in the event of an attack on the
country.

Top Iranian Army commander Major General Ataollah Salehi said Sunday that the recent war rhetoric against the country has
prompted Iran's military brass to task analysts with developing quick-reaction contingency plans.

The general said the "heavy weight" of enemy warships provides the Iranian side with an ideal opportunity for launching
successful counter-attacks.

This is while earlier in June, The New York Sun reported that America's intelligence analysts were poring over scenarios for
an Iranian attack on the US 5th Fleet, located in Bahrain.

The scenarios included offensives by Iranian warships equipped with Russian-designed Shkval torpedoes.

DESCRIPTION
The Shkval ("squall") is a high-speed supercavitating rocket-propelled torpedo designed to be a rapid-reaction defense
against U.S. submarines undetected by sonar. It can also be used as a countermeasure to an incoming torpedo, forcing the
hostile projectile to abruptly change course and possibly break its guidance wires.

The torpedo has a nearly flat, conical disk at its nose that creates the gas cavity for supercavitation. The disk tilts to help guide
the weapon and keep it stable. The cavity is supported by rockets venting just abaft the cavitator. Four popout cylinders
toward the aft end of the nose section keep the body of the torpedo stable and out of contact with the walls of the bubble in
which it rides. At the rear of the torpedo are deflected control surfaces. Eight small rockets surround the main sustainer
rocket. The main engine cuts in when the weapon has achieved supercavitation speed.

The solid-rocket propelled torpedo achieves a high velocity of 230 mph (386 kmh) by producing an envelope of
supercavitating bubbles from its nose and skin, which coat the entire weapon surface in a thin layer of gas. This speed is a
result of supercavitation: the torpedo is, in effect, flying in a gas bubble created by outward deflection of water by its specially shaped nose cone and the expansion of gases from its engine. This causes the metal skin of the weapon to avoid contact with the water, significantly reducing drag and friction.

The Shkval is fired from the standard 533-mm torpedo tube at a depth of up to 328 ft (100 m). The rocket-powered torpedo
exits the tube at 50 knots (93 kmh) and then ignites the rocket motor, propelling the weapon to speeds four to five times
faster than other conventional torpedoes. The weapon reportedly has an 80 percent kill probability at a range of 7,655 yd
(7,000 m).

Among the US warships currently present in the Persian Gulf are the multi-purpose amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima
and USS Mount Whitney as well as the Destroyer Squadron 50/CTF 55 and the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group.

Maj. Gen. Salehi also stated that the Iranian Navy is on a constant watch in the Persian Gulf as the Iranian
Commander-in-Chief, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has warned that the enemy is on the lookout for "a moment of
neglect".

Salehi's remarks come shortly after chief Iranian navy commander Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said Saturday that Iran is
"perfectly capable" of blocking the Strait of Hormuz to protect its sovereignty should the country come under attack.

"We are perfectly capable of blockading the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf and whoever doubts our capabilities can
take a step and see the consequences," Sayyari warned.

Iran, in further preparation has also upgraded the Asalouyeh Naval Base in the Persian Gulf and inaugurated a new naval base
in the port of Jask located in the Sea of Oman in order to tighten its grip on the strategic region.

France has said they will enter this war if the Strait of Hormuz is closed to ensure their oil supply.
