MUMBAI: Anita Uddaiya, the woman who saw the six terrorists involved in the November 26 terror attacks arrive in the city, claims she was taken to the US and questioned by investigating agencies there.
“I was informed that the (US) officers who questioned me about the Mumbai attacks here earlier would take me to America. They came on Sunday morning and had taken me to America in a flight,” Uddaiya said.
“I had lied to the police when I returned home stating that I went to Satara district as the officers told me not to disclose anything about my visit to America,” Uddaiya said.

Uddaiya went missing on Sunday morning and returned to Mumbai on Wednesday around 1.30 am.
She had claimed that she had seen the terrorists land in a rubber dinghy on the beach at the colony. But when she asked them where they had come from, she was told to mind her own business.
Giving details, she said on Saturday that around 10.00 pm, the investigating officers were supposed to come to her home.

No, no, no! Think about it: they wanted to know if she knew the TRUTH of what happened…. when she related that the memorized indian-language line, “be quite, mind your own business” was exclaimed, they knew she was not a threat.
Understand?

This woman might be telling the truth or maybe not. But does it really make a difference when we know that US is influencing every decision India makes about handling terrorism in Pakistan. Pakistan has been and will be a key ally to the US and US cannot afford to loose that advantage in this war on terror. So Pakistan can do whatever they want and there is a guarantee that there won’t be any consequences from the US. Remember how fiercely US tried to dissolve the argument after this incident. I am guessing the LeT are already planning for one more attack on the city as there are as many as 20 terrorist still in hiding accoerding to previous news reports. Also there is another group that is based in India, the Indian Mujahideen. So India better wake up to that, or so would we think would make a difference.

And the legality of taking foreign nationals to the US for questioning is beyond rediculous. Must meet your gods! If this story is true, then WTF!!! The US government over steps all boundaries already, so it wouldn’t surprise me if something like this happened.

No wonder Kashmir is high on Obama’s agenda.

Obvious intemt of this article is in the fact that this woman was “renditioned” to instill a sense of dread and fear into the population for observing such “terrorist” activity.
Why is the US and India so concerned with this woman’s eye witness testimony that she had to be flown around the world, to the US in order for her to be questioned?
Pure and simple – she was intimidated by the authorities for seeing and being at the right place and the right time when the “highly trained” perpetrators were making an amphibious landing at the colony.
Why would the US try to intimidate her? Because the US has CIA assets that were and are deeply involved in covert operations in and around Pakistan/India. Pakistan is a client state, so is India.
The US is the worlds largest, most expensive originator and supporter of economic terrorism…collateral damage is acceptable due to preserving the “American Way of Life,” which is “non-negotiable.”
Even the loss of innocent life and the pure adulteration of American idealism is acceptable collateral damage, as long as the banking syndicate (Columbia Syndicate) can maintain their current trajectory and the few American Elitists can profit from this joint-global-venture.

Lunaeus, American way of life? You are about to get an African President, your constitution is being dismantled piece by tiny piece, your country is effectively being run by a Jewish minority, the arse is being ripped out of your economy. Exactly what American way of life are you refering to?
Don’t take my comments the wrong way mate things are worse here in the UK. I’m just not sure what your point is.
