22 Foreign Nationals Killed in India's 9/11
Terrorism in the modern war. In times where you thought war is in someplace far away from home, it will actually, on the contrary, strike you where it hurts most.
A Singaporean lawyer (28 yrs old) was one of the 22 foreign nationals who fell victim under the hands of merciless terrorists in the Mumbai attacks. (http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20081130/tap-237-terror-attack-victims-body-flown-231650b.html)
She's probably the only Singaporean who has been put under terrorist fire and murdered ever since the Mac bombings several years ago.
I've never cared too much about India's politics, nor did I hold a perspective more emotional than this very moment, every time I read the news about all the senseless killings being carried out in terrorist attacks all over the world.
When a terrorist attacks in one country, it does not only concern the country involved. In this case, a total of 22 foreigners were murdered. Five each from Israel and the US; two each from France, Australia and Canada; one each from Germany, the UK, Japan, Italy, Thailand, and Singapore.
However, the boundary does not stop there.
The whole world is affected.
The whole world is attacked.
The whole world is hurt.
The terrorists might have achieved the objective of creating panic and confusion. But ultimately, the people who gets hurt are still one of our kind - human.
Isn't terrorism just another form of genocide?
