Lessons from the Mumbai tragedy
孟買悲劇的教訓


FT專欄作家拉赫曼:印度孟買襲擊事件的教訓有三:一、酒店日益成爲恐怖分子的選擇目標;二、問題的中心在南亞,而不是中東;三、衝突會製造恐怖。只有印巴聯手,纔有可能贏得反恐怖主義戰爭的勝利。

My next stop was the Taj Palace hotel in Mumbai – the scene of last week's tragic killings and siege. At the time, there was next to no security. That looks bad now. But the sad truth is that you can have very tight checks at these hotels and still be vulnerable. I also stayed at the Marriott in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, earlier this year. All cars entering its driveway were checked for explosives. But a couple of months ago, it was still destroyed by a bomb that caused scores of death.

我的下一站是孟買的泰姬瑪哈酒店(Taj Palace hotel)——也就是上週悲劇性傷亡和圍攻事件的發生地。當時,那裏幾乎沒有防禦措施。現在看來,這樣做很糟。但令人遺憾的是,你可以在這些酒店設置嚴密的檢查措施,但它們還是很難防禦。今年早些時候,我還在巴基斯坦首都伊斯蘭瑪巴德的萬豪酒店(Marriott)住過。那裏所有進入酒店的車輛都要接受爆炸物檢查。但幾個月後,一枚炸彈還是將那裏夷爲平地,造成數十人遇難。
