Whose Side Are They On?

Why is this report buried down in the third page of news items at the on-line New York Times?

Series of Blasts Leave 56 Dead in India

JAIPUR, India — In the first terrorist attack in many months, seven bombs went off within minutes of one another on Tuesday evening in the crowded lanes of one of India’s main tourist hubs, the historic city of Jaipur, killing 56 and wounding 84, officials said.

Multiple simultaneous bomb attacks are a hall mark of al Qaeda and its affiliates.  There have already been indications in other news sources of links to a Bangladesh al Qaeda affiliate yet the New York Times does not see fit to even mention the possibility.

Maybe brown skinned people murdered by other brown skinned people don't count for much in the New York Times race-drenched universe.

Or, the naive among us might think the Times is trying to minimize the impact of Islamic terrorism. </sarc>
