Conspiracy theory. [Is it just me...]

Today, we woke up to the news... To be precise, yestyerday we went to sleep with the news that coordinated groups of gunmen shot and blasted their way through tourist sites in the Indian financial center of Mumbai

Throughout November and indeed, for the better part of the year, partly due to the frustrations that come with the paenuts I am yet to start earning despite a university education, [education which, by the way, is being threatened by Makerere University's policy of overcharging Kenyan students,] I have been seriously considering a career in bucaneering, since it seems there is alot of money to be made there.

But seriously, authorities commented on this latest terror incidient by saying it exhibited a previously unseen degree of reconnaissance and planning. The scale and synchronization of the attacks pointed to the likely involvement of experienced commanders and very detailed planning. Several witnesses also said the gunmen demanded to see passports from cornered guests, separating American and British tourists from the others.

A previously unknown group calling itself Deccan Mujahedin said it carried out the attack.

Now, let's do a little math.

1. Such a flawlessly planned operation needs money. Lots of money.

2. Money pouring in from pirate ransoms have reached $30 million this year alone.

3. The indian navy has been protecting ships from the islamist pirates, with support from Britain and America.

4. Somalia, despite being a very failed state, has never ever let go of its strict and very extreme Islamic way of life.

5. Deccan Mujahedin sounds like an islamist group to me.

Is it just me, or does anybody else notice a thread?
