Mumbai Terrorists Used Google

Mumbai Terrorists Used Google


Posted Monday, December 1, 2008 - 10:03am

From the IDG News Service comes a report that in part of their training, the terrorists responsible for last week's attacks in Mumbai, India used Google Earth to learn and memorize the layout of the neighborhoods they planned to hit. Google and India have butted heads before, as Indian officials accused Google Earth of mapping and displaying sensitive military installations. It must be noted, however, that the Mumbai attackers could have picked up the same information from maps sold in tourist shops around the city.
