Nov. 28, 2008, Ani Agnihotri was doing his multitasking thing midway through Wednesday afternoon, perusing the Internet while conversing with a friend about a recent business trip to his country, India, from his home in Georgia. Then an e-mail message appeared on his screen, bringing the lighthearted dialogue to a close. “Attack in Mumbai,” read the subject line.
Mr. Agnihotri received an additional message informing him of reports of random shootings in Mumbai. He went online and saw a report of a second, identical assault. Mr. Agnihotri then observed a fire caused by terrorists in the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower Hotel, the same hotel where he had been just three weeks before when he turned on an Indian cable television station.
Mr. Agnihotri had uncovered another, more subtle point of linkage by Thursday morning. The terrorists had also attacked a Jewish outreach center run by the Chabad Lubavitch movement, in addition to hotels, a café, a train station, and two hospitals. As co-chairman of the Indo-Jewish Coalition, an 80-member group in the Atlanta area, Mr. Agnihotri took in the news.
