America's War on Terror is not FOUGHT in America but outside America... for its capitalistic goals indeed..... Things like these though shameful does happen in every country...
Right here in India many tourists are killed by cons... I hope you feel the same for them as well..

aree we r concern because they r indian. and how many murders it happen in u.s vs india. daily.
people should not go to u.s for job leving great india.
People commenting here should understand that US has the highest no. of homicides in the world, They have highest no. of rape cases, highest no. of serial killers, highest no. of civilian population with guns or access to guns...
Hell.... bullets there cost ~5 cent a pop... so it is indeed not the safest place on Earth...
Granted nowhere is safe but looking at statics India does feel safer....

Lolz what are you talking about.. life is priceless... any price you put on it will not bring back the dead but atleast it will help to nab the culprits...& bring them to justice...
When US can catch Saddam Hussain from Underground, why is it so that they are unable to catch the criminals of their own land? US is not as great as we think.

Rajarshi, it seems you did not read what prasad has written. You should read it properly then you understand your folly. All we are rural folks but migrated to green patches. You have to correct your mind set before writing something nasty.

Apparently these Indians were not ruling a country sitting on reserves of OIL... and culprits are not caught overnight.. It will take time & hopefully they will be nabbed & prosecuted...
