`Mumbai terror attacks were just waiting to happen' 15 Dec 2008, 0137 hrs IST, TNN . http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-3836566,prtpage-1.cms PATNA: The Mumbai terror attacks were not surprising and were just waiting to happen. This was stated by former DGP of Bihar S B Sahay at a function held on Sunday at Rotary Bhawan to "release" his book, Jihadi Terrorism. The book, which was published in 2006, was released by former Union minister and Rajya Sabha MP Dr C P Thakur. "It's a right opportunity to talk about terrorism," said eminent physician of Patna, Dr Gopal Prasad Sinha. He said the need of the hour was robust nationalism. "We must not have this attitude that the terror attacks in Mumbai do not affect us," he said adding that Sahay had updated his analysis about terrorism after the Mumbai attacks. Speaking on the occasion, Sahay said that the Indian authorities had failed to establish a link between the rise in jihadi terrorism and the terror strikes in the US and other parts of the world, including the attack on Parliament in India on December 13, 2001. "The increase in terror attacks in the country has merely been linked with the demolition of the Babri mosque," he said. He also accused the present regime of giving weak signals to Pakistan as far as dealing with terrorism was concerned. "They first scrapped the law specifically framed for terror and then also gave a statement that terrorism will not come in the way of Indo-Pak relations," he said. Sahay compared the this stand of UPA with the agreement made by Britain with Hilter in a bid to prevent war. He also expressed amazement at various political parties extending support to outfits like SIMI in the hope that it would please minorities. "The common man among the minorities has come out strongly against terrorism," he pointed out. Sahay also sought to trace the history of jihadi terrorism. "Prophet Mohammad established a religion as pious as any other religion. It did not have the concept of jihad. The concept of jihad came into picture much later and was used for expanding territories," said Sahay. He attributed the revival of the Islamic jihad to the debacle of USSR in Afghanistan and stressed that the US had become the victim of the same people it once helped in Afghanistan. Dr Thakur stressed the need for India to overcome its weaknesses pointing out that every system had failed in the Mumbai terror attacks.
