I'm pretty sure Steel is more able to post info about this, but chances are the terrorists are of Islamic background and have ties to Pakistani areas. As most of you probably know, but I suspect not all, Pakistan and India are bitter enemies, and both countries have Nuclear Weapons. If it turns out these guys are of Pakistani background, India is most likely going to demand some kind of retaliation against the tribal areas and chances are, Pakistan is going to refuse.
Last time India and Pakistan was on the verge of war was about 6 years ago iirc. So yeah, as gruesome as this event is, the possible consequence is the real horror. Indian-Pakistani relations is the current biggest threat to world peace, Al-Qaida, Iran and North-Korea are nothing but flies in comparison.
But yeah I'd really like it if someone with knowledge on this area posted what this might mean???
edit: My knowledge in this field is very limited and shallow, I'll admit that, but I seriously doubt India is going to accept open warfare in one of their biggest cities.
