		Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf invited French authorities to assist in the investigation. French President Jacques Chirac condemned the attack and dispatched his newly appointed defense minister to Pakistan.
		While the Pakistani government had previously supported Islamic radical groups fighting in Kashmir and Afghanistan, since the start of the war in Afghanistan, Musharraf has outlawed five of the main militant groups.
		He added that the size of the bomb, together with the fact that it was a suicide operation tended to differentiate it from the usual type of terrorism common in Karachi.

		In contrast, the seeming inactivity shown by the Indian Navy was adversely commented upon by the citizens of Mumbai and caused acute discomfort among the Naval personnel and the dock workers.

	WorldNetDaily: Pakistan to put nukes on subs

		Pakistani navy spokesman Roshan Khayal said the move was being considered because India is also planning to eventually equip its submarine force with similar nuclear-capable weapons.
		A day earlier, Pakistani Rear Adm. Afzal Tahir, deputy chief of naval staff, said Pakistan needed to equip its submarines with nuclear weapons because Indian navy officials had plans to outfit New Delhi's Soviet-era diesel boats with such missiles.

		Another potential vulnerability of the Pakistani air force is its dependence on ground controlled intercept's, any attacks on control towers, command and control centres and the use of communications jamming could cause significant problems to airborne units which would find themselves isolated and due to the lack of effective radars unable to engage the enemy.
		While the Pakistani army may be able to make some headway due to their initial surprise it is unlikely that they would be able to hold or even threaten to take large parts of Indian territory.
		In any Pakistani attack on India the focus of the attack would be Kashmir as they could expect assistance form the local militants as well as the fact that for some time now Pakistan has laid claim to Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
