Police report 60 killed by [7] bombs in western India [Jaipur

`
"[T]he blasts are part of a big conspiracy," cries "India's
junior home minister".
`
Well, yes.
`
The Superpower's Special Forces Command planned and, with
the help of local agents, executed these bombings.
`
The blasts are an obvious counter to the successful series
of state-level
`
ANTI-TERRORISM
`
conferences organized by Darul Uloom Deoband (Deoband house
of knowledge).
`
Right away, The Superpower's State Department issued a state-
ment:
`
"The United States stands with the government and people of
India in their ongoing fight to eliminate the scourge terror-
ism."
`
Note the compact formulation "the scourge terrorism" instead
of the ordinary formulation "the scourge of terrorism." The
former unwittingly suggests the actual case --real terrorism
countering supposed terrorism.
