#1 To add insult to injury.. the LeT front operation JuD setup a medical aid operation for those the LeT bombed

Help for survivors of the train tragedy came from a quarter that has caused India concern in the past.

The Jamaat-ud-Dawa set up a mobile operating theatre and had 15 ambulances at Wagah, mirroring its quick reaction to the 2005 earthquake when it beat the government and the army to the scene. The group is widely regarded as the political wing of the outlawed Laskhar-i-Taiba.

Indian police alleged that Lashkar-i-Taiba was behind the Mumbai train blasts in July that killed 185 people.

Dawa worker Abdul Hameed rejected Indias previous criticism. We only engage in welfare work. We join relief operations wherever it is needed is that terrorism? he asked.

Another Dawa worker, Abu Qatal, said the Shiv Sena appears to be behind this blast.

#2 Very interesting that the JuD could send a mobile operating theatre and ambulances so quickly (neither needed since victims would have been treated in Indian hospitals) to greet the train at the Wagah border crossing?

#3 With Freindship Trains like these, who needs enemies. Shut down the train. What is PakLand doing for India? The Paks are too flaky and unstable to deal with. It's like dealing with somebody with severe multiple personality disorder---who is in charge?

To whisk away the bombers and any evidence, and to "Prove" they didnt have anything to do with it, also to make sure the Injured do NOT survive. (Sorry, He died on the operating table)
