Commandos sent to get the Mumbai terrorists were surprised to find BlackBerries in the bags of terrorists. After the authorities have cut the cable feeds to the hotels the terrorists followed the news and the world by going online from their handset. What’s surprising is that the officials were surprised to find smartphones with terrorists. And with all the technology available they were not capable of tracking down cell phone usage from inside the hotels before while they were negotiating?
It’s always sad to report such news but we shouldn’t be so amazed that more and more people are using advanced communication technologies, no matter what their intentions are.
