Will Islamic terrorists from India be identified as responsible for the attacks in Mumbai
The question leaves itself too open to subjective interpretation to be settled fairly. In particular, "be indentified" needs to be spelled out. A previously unknown group from India emailed local media to claim responsibility, but the Indian government is claiming a Pakistani origin, and the police have mentioned British and Pakistani identification documents as belonging to some of the perpetrators. The question lacks the required instructions for how to handle this in terms of settling it.

: While this is obviously a question of particular interest at the moment, there are a few problems as is. For instance, what standard is being used for considering their identification? Who is doing the identifying? What if some are from India and some from elsewhere? What precisely constitutes an Islamist, as opposed to someone who is simply Islamic by birth? Do all of the members have to be "Islamists" for the group to be considered Islamist?
