Global Terrorism's Indian Recruits

The involvement of two Indians in the UK terror plot plainly exposes the fact that Al-Qaeda and other international terrorist outfits possess Indian recruits too. Indians have, with a sense of pride, verbally brandished for long that international terrorist outfits like the Al-Qaeda have not been able to radicalise and recruit a single Indian Muslim. That certainly isn't the case any more. This was a catastrophe waiting to happen. India has to wake up to the fact that transnational terrorism no longer targets only the West for ideological reasons. India too, is considered by international terror gangs as one of the morally prime targets for destruction in order to further their goals.Meanwhile, it was heartening to note that there was co-operation between Indian and British intelligence agencies in regard to the UK terror plot. The negative consequence of all of this would be racial profiling, which has become a necessary evil.
