Mumbai bombings signal sustained rail terrorism trend

Article Abstract:

Terrorist attacks on trains and metro rail systems in cities such as Mumbai, London, Madrid, and Moscow indicate a sustained interest by terrorists in exploiting the often-open aspect of commuter rail infrastructure to execute mass casualty attacks. A comprehensive suite of counter-measures, spanning intelligence, technology and procedures must therefore be used to displace terrorism from the railway environment.

The militants' apparent inactivity does not necessarily mean they are defeated as the group seems to be evolving from an Islamonationalist insurgent group into a more atomized movements, attempting to align themselves with the global Jihad.
