Why is the Indian Hotel shooting getting soooo much press coverage?

Isn't there anything a tad more domestic that can occupy front page headline news?

    The only reason it's getting coverage is because American and British tourists were taken hostage.

    Terrorists have been attacking India for almost two decades. In past three years, 700 Indians have been murdered by them. Did you ever see ANY media coverage on that? Nope.

    Well over a 125 people have lost their lives including a 100 Indian civilians and many policemen. Some Japanese, Australian and British nationals have also lost their lives. Some more are still hostages including Indians , Israelis, Americans etc.

    If the Americans don't care about the lives of others we are also bored with your yearly nonsense about 9/11 which was probably an inside job!

    Either you treat others with respect and equality or we'll also not give two shits about you Americans. You won't have anyone fighting for you either when this fire reaches your home!

    Wow! Because you dotn realise the terrorists are mainly after the british and american? One of the hostages said that they are looking for everyone who has american and british passports. The areas that the terrorists have targeted are all those areas that mainly have foreigner visitors!

    It has been goin on for 25 hours and over 150 innocent people been killed.

    Now i hope you realise why? The terrorists are sending out a signal.

    It is pretty domestic.

    A Japanese business man was killed and his blood covered the suits of the Americans and British guests who were also targeted.

    Innocent people died, show some respect. Would you rather Kate Moss be on the cover because she fell over in Tesco?

    This coverage is needed to educate the world that Radical Islam is something to be detroyed with every tool available.

    They are all cowards that attack, kill and maim defenseless civilians that have done nothing to them, yet the apologists will blame everything except for the obvious.....insane muslims.

    what if i would ask the same question why 9/11 news were on headline news soooooo much coverage too?what you would feel?if you don't want to hear or see that news why don't you shut your eyes or tv or any other media?

    Because Americans and Westerners as a whole were the target. If this attack occurred in Africa to people with dark skin it would be an irrelevant blurb on the bottom scroll on CNN.

    i am sorry to say that the famous media is controlled by Jews and they take any opportunity to have a news against moslems will they jailed Palestinians in Gaza without food or water or power with minimum coverage even in the news if some Arabs were killed they may spend 8 seconds talking about it wile if a hostage was taking he will have a whole report about his family his kid his crying wife

    um, maybe because the terrorists' tried to kidnap US citizens! and maybe becuase hundreds of people either died, or we're hurt. It also shows the dangers of terrorism, and what a big issue it really is.

    Wow you're insensitive. It was a serious terrorist attack. And it's ongoing. Just because it's not happening in the US doesn't mean it's not important.
