Jusqu'à présent, seules des hypothèses avaient pu être émises concernant les objectifs des terroristes de Mumbai/Bombay. Comme il est désormais quasiment certain que ceux-ci étaient membre du groupe pakistanais LeT, on pouvait deviner les raisons de l'attaque par inférence. Maintenant, un appel d'un des terroristes à un journaliste indien offre pour la première fois certaines des raisons concrètes:
The voice on the other end of the line, sounding robotic, rattled off a list of grievances: the 2002 riots in Gujarat state during which more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed; the 1992 demolition of the centuries-old Babri mosque by Hindu mobs; and India's control over part of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
The caller was holed up in an ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach center where the assailants had taken hostages, according to cellphone records obtained by Indian investigators. "Are you aware how many people have been killed in Kashmir? Are you aware how your army has killed Muslims?" the caller demanded. "We die every day," he told the news anchor. "It's better to win one day as a lion than die this way."
