What do you think some of the goals of the terrorists were?

I think the largest goal would have to be, to stress Pakistani and Indian relations to the point of war.

To kill a shit-ton of people.

That is what they did.

That isnt a goal.

We are talking about political goals of the attacks.

I believe the goals were to:

1. Let US know the terrorists are still around
2. Distress Pakistan & India since both are "enemies"
3. Gain attention from other "terrorists" organizations to fight back

To kill a shit-ton of people.

More specifically, westerners.

Hence why they targeted the hotel, where its mostly people from the US/UK.
