Its been bit or a circus, trying to get in contact with friends and relatives in Mumbai, and fortunately they are fine, a little shaken and angry, but Physically fine.
Still, watching the coverage Online and on TV, has been interesting, with the Internationals making quiet a few leaps in who could be responsible, while the Indian Channels, surprisingly have been a little restrained, at least for them
.
Getting back to the title of the Topic, Ricky, while I can sympathise to a certain extent with the desire not to go to Places where you are being targeted due to your nationality, it is unfortunately a fact of life in many parts of the world, not just India.
Terrorists have long targeted American's and Europeans in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Yeman, Lebonan, etc) largely due to the fact that they've found that its an easy way to get International Attention, and in many cases get away with it.
Africa has also had its share of problems, but more to to with getting a Ransom then for political means. The Embassy bombings while horrific, were not a foreshadow of further large scale attacks, at least in Africa.
In Asia, the Bali bombings were a major wakeup calls, as they to were largely aimed at foreigners.
Anyway Any one interested in watching Live coverage can watch it unfold at
IBNLive which is CNN's Indian Affliate. Its a Live stream of its coverage and is pretty comphensive.
