Lashkar-e-Toiba helps with outsourcing...

Here's one for the conspiracy theorists.

FACT : a few weeks ago Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz made a statement to the effect that they want outsourcing to come to their country as well. In all these years we've never heard a cheep out of them on this issue.

FACT : The immediate reaction of the worldwide community to this statement was something like this blog post. How can anyone consider sending work to Pakistan, they say, when it is so politically unstable and unsafe? The unspoken subtext, of course, is that India, especially South India, is pretty stable and safe.

FACT : 2 weeks after this, members of a terrorist group based in Pakistan are caught in Delhi. According to the police, they were planning to blow up software companies in Bangalore. Immediately after this sequence of events, we have more bomb hoaxes and suchlike at Bangalore.

Discussion Forums everywhere have loads of fun with this. Somewhere, in the mind of some project manager, a seed of doubt is planted about the safety of sending his work to Bangalore. LeT have achieved their aim.
Isn't it funny that these 'attacks' are being planned and given publicity immediately after that statement by Aziz? I mean, it isn't as if the IT industry is doing anything new. Why then would a Pakistani terrorist group target them now?

PS. The 'outsourcing' in the title line isn't the outsourced work that comes to INDIA.
