Horror in Mumbai
In just a few months, India has gone from a land of economic
miracle, charging ahead at 9% annual growth, to a nation in
apparent disarray. First the global crisis dealt a blow. Then the
Nov. 26 terror attacks in Mumbai, which left nearly 200 dead and
hundreds injured, highlighted India's political, security, and
intelligence failures. Foreign investors may steer clear for a
time, and business in general may slow as Indians lose confidence
in their government. (Edited by Harry Maurer &
