Respond to the Mumbai Terror Attacks: Ask the US Congress to cut off funding to Pakistan if it does not close down the terror training camps responsible for the Mumbai Terror Attacks!

1. The Indian American community expresses its OUTRAGE at last weeks deadly attacks, which have resulted in 180 deaths, including those of 6 Americans. Sadly, India is no stranger to terrorism, having suffered more than nearly any other country. These attacks however represent an entirely NEW level of threat.
2. Given the scale, sophistication and audacity of this operation, there is every indication that this was a sophisticated campaign orchestrated by external groups inimical to the West. All evidence points to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) being behind this attack, and that would fit entirely with their history of deadly operations. The LeT, operating out of camps in Pakistan, openly advocates global jihad. To this end, we now need to view the LeT and Al Qaeda as increasingly blurring into one entity
3. We believe that in the interests of broader peace America needs to demand that Pakistan close down ALL terror camps in its territory or risk losing US funding that has amounted to over $10 Billion in US Tax payer dollars since 9/11.
4. Furthermore, US Congressional funding also should be contingent on Pakistan extraditing Dawood Ibrahim, one of the regions most deadly underworld criminals. Mr Ibrahim is widely acknowledged to be living under Pakistani state protection in Karachi. He is also believed to have provided logistical support for this particular attack, in addition to being the mastermind of previous attacks. He is designated as a Global Terrorist by the US Treasury Department and Pakistan has resisted all previous requests from India for his extradition. Given the threat he poses, it is imperative that he is brought to justice in a court of law.
