Theattacks on the Chabad Jewish center in Mumbai have been a grim reminderfor Israelis of the security threats that they continue to face aroundthe world.
Along with grief, there is anger among someIsraelis. Newspapers here have been carrying stories of publicoutrage, with some accusing India of mishandling rescue efforts.
Thehead of Israel's disaster victim identification group - anon-government agency, ZAKA - was quoted this week as saying Indiancommandos may have killed some of the Jewish victims at the Chabadhouse in Mumbai.
The Israeli government has refrained fromcriticizing India and has blasted ZAKA and others for making what itsays have been irresponsible comments. On Tuesday, Israeli foreignministry officials said ZAKA and others are jeopardizing Israel'srelations with India by suggesting Indian forces mishandled the assaultin Mumbai.
