The Keystone Terrorists
At least if this report is true:Shortly before the terrorists moved into their targets in South Mumbai, a black and yellow taxi, with three passengers and enough ammunition to bring down a dome, sped in the direction of the airport. Instead of taking a slip road that would have taken the passengers straight to the airport, the driver took the flyover which bypassed the airport, only to get stuck at a red light.
At rush hour, the lights stayed red for long, at which the passengers berated the driver and asked him to cut the traffic lights. The driver moved on, but the wait turned out to be a minute or two too long. The car exploded. All that was found was a severed head and parts of three human legs. Had the terrorists' plans of coinciding a blast at the airport with the attacks on the Taj and Oberoi hotels succeeded, the death toll of 26/11 would have been much bigger than it already is.
First rule with GPS - update those maps!
Again, nothing I would call sophistication. Just savagery.

Just curious:
How is it known that
"the lights stayed red for long
and the passengers berated the driver"
if
"all that was found wad a severed head
and parts of three human legs"??
I wondered too - I concluded that neighboring cars saw the activities inside the one that blew up. I have certainly seen passengers berate the driver in cars beside mine stuck in traffic.
