India signs new anti-terror laws in wake of Mumbai attack
But of course they have. Just like The USA, Canada, and the UK when they staged terror attacks as marketing stunts to get their populations to cede their freedoms as well. Oh, and we mustn’t forget Australia. It’s a part of that particularly neolithic form of statecraft honed by the British during their Imperial phase, and people should have woken up to it after it was declassified that the USA staged the attacks off the coast of Vietnam to go to war with that country as well.

In response to the deadly Mumbai attacks, India’s president has signed into law a bill that doubles the number of days police can detain terror suspects and extends police powers to conduct searches.
President Pratibha Patil approved the anti-terror legislation, which has been criticized by some human rights groups.
Police will now be able to detain terror suspects for 180 days before filing charges, up from 90.
The president also signed a bill that will create an FBI-style national investigation agency, said Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram, the country’s top law enforcement official.
In the aftermath of the attacks, Chidambaram announced sweeping changes to the country’s security and intelligence agencies, which came under heavy criticism.
He has said the government also plans to boost coastal security, training for local police and intelligence sharing.
Gunmen targeted 10 sites in the siege that began Nov. 26, killing around 171 people, including two Canadians. India has blamed the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the attacks.
