The Frontline Club in London is hosting a reactive debate to the Mumbai terrorist attacks on 16th December 2008 at 7pm. I will be joining a panel including David Loyn (BBC) and Vikram Dodd (Guardian), chaired by Owen Bennett Jones (BBC).
What will these attacks mean for the ongoing “war on terror” and will India now be seen as a soft target? Will deteriorating relations between Pakistan and India be brought closer by a new co-operation to work together in the aftermath of the attacks and a joint desire to bring the perpetrators to justice? Or will these attacks simply fuel the existing tensions between these two nuclear powers?
