Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms
Alien54 writes "Militants killed in an encounter in New Delhi on Saturday night planned to attack leading software companies in Bangalore in addition to the Indian Military Academy in Dehra Dun, Delhi police said on Sunday Indian police claim the men were members of Lashkar-e-Toiba - a Wahabi militant group fighting for an independent Kashmir. Apart from maps of call centers police also recovered 100 kilos of dynamite, 10.5 kilos of RDX explosive, 450 detonators, three AK-56 rifles and a satellite phone."
Can you say Identity Theft?
There are many call centre operations in India or whereever. If a few get blown up it takes only seconds to divert the call to a new building and a couple of days to say "Check the power cord and reboot".
At the end of the day, Dell (or whomever) don't really care about the quality of the tech support much (and tech support quality is pretty hard to measure). Where there's a buck to be saved, save it!
Engineering is the art of compromise.
How the fuck can you talk about "critical thinking" when you don't even read the damn article?
for the attack
and there would also be a group of people making fun of it.
Welcome to america. Dont like it ? Leave.
This is how the world works: They hate us, we hate them. Everything else (like who hated who for what reason first) is semantics.

It is commendable that this was caught before damage was done.
Having said that, this should be taken as a wake-up call to companies to refrain from sending U.S. data processing facilities to third-world countries.
Has it occured to said companies that if an attack, or even a security breach, occurs that it may not be a prosecuteable offense in that particular country???

From India to Indonesia, from the Netherlands to the Philippines the reason Muslims can't get along with their neighbors is because of Zionist occupied Palestine.
The post just above yours by azuredragon23 tells what happened. azuredragon23 also corrects my statements. I hope it is more clear now. Oh btw, I am a Muslim and I know I'd have elected to be a part of India if there was an option. Although I don't speak for other Muslims and Kashmiris, I believe India is much safer for Muslims as a secular country. Atleast, I won't be called a refugee by India like Pakistan does to Muslims who migrated to Pakistan during independence.
