It's big news here. The first local to be killed in a "terrorist" action made the front page of every paper.
As for it being "brown people"... the militants were seeking out US and English passport holders specifically. It's why they attacked the hotels they did. Reading the Canadian press, there were two Canadians killed and many more injured.
What I find troubling is that the Indians had warning of this sort of thing happening and yet, took no actions to stop it. I think it also represents a shift in thinking on the part of the militants. They are shifting their focus to softer targets which means they are having trouble achieving their goals in the West. It could also be part of an effort to destabilize the new Pakistani government so they can operate with more freedom.
