Our enemies are a complicated mix. We are fighting a global network of extremists, sometimes led by al Qaeda and other times fought by local groups who are only affiliated with or motivated by the al Qaeda ideology, or one like it.
The Institute for the Study of War offers its sincerest condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the Mumbai terror attacks. In a little over 60 hours of fighting, 180 Indians and foreigners including Americans were killed in a wide-scale assault on the financial capital of India. Highly trained and heavily-armed commandos seized city landmarks, killing and capturing those inside. We will continue following the situation via daily news updates to keep you informed.
