I find it interesting that the response from American media is "India's 9/11" - as if world terrorism started in September 2001.
Pesonally, I lived in Lonon through the late 1980s and early 1990, and there was barely a week that went by without a terrorist incident near me.
In the mid 1980s our prime-minister was lown up in a hotel 10 minutes from my home (she was in Brighton).
That gives me a totally diferent perspective on terorism. This incident was sad for those involvd, but I have no personal onnection to it, and it appears to be related to the 60 year old Indian/Pakistani tension.
