xPirate's Thoughts: Holy jesus! This wasn't what I was expecting to find when searching for a story today. What a catastrophe they have going on over there in India. I wonder what group is behind this attack. If they are targeting U.S. and British tourists, then it's clearly some enemy we have made. This situation is still in progress, so make sure to check back for updates.
