Phone Call From a Terrorist

The transcript of a phone call between an Indian TV anchor and one of the Mumbai attackers has emerged. After the anchor asks the man, identified as Imran Babar, why he doesn't surrender, the attacker rattles off a list of grievances: the 2002 riots in Gujarat that saw 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, killed; a 1992 demolition of a centuries-old Babri mosque by Hindu mobs; and Indian control of Kashmir. "Are you aware how many people have been killed in Kashmir? Are you aware how your army has killed Muslims?" the caller asked. "We die every day. It's better to win one day as a lion than die this way," he said. Though investigators have blamed Pakistan-based Lashkar-i-Taiba for the attacks, though a specific motive is still being pieced together.
