Notes: A good attempt by the Post to round up world leader and expert reactions to the attacks in Mumbai. With so many quotes, this is somewhat light on analysis. Sourcing isn't very deep, but the perspectives are helpful.

Notes: Interesting roundup of early comments by government officials and analysts about likely suspects behind the Mumbai terrorist attacks. The report cites a number or authoritative sources, though quite a few sources are anonymous. This is still largely speculative information, until more factual evidence is gathered, but it provides helpful context on this tragedy.

Notes: The best analysis of the Mumbai crisis I've yet read, albeit coming less than three days since the attacks started. Great sources, sprinkled with repeated calls not to rush to any judgment.
