India was worst victim of terror in 2003: US report (Updated at 0930 PST) NEW DELHI: Despite a drop in number of incidents and casualties, India has continued to be the worst victim of terrorism during 2003 as well, according to figures collated by the US's latest report on global terrorism, an Indian newspaper reported on Saturday. There were far more "significant terrorist incidents" in India during the year than in any other country —49 in India, compared to 10 in Colombia, nine in Israel, six in Saudi Arabia and four in Pakistan. The list is a chronology of incidents that have met the US Government's Incident Review Panel criteria. A terrorist incident is deemed to be "significant" when it results in loss of life, serious injury or major property damage. But the list, published in the "Patterns of Global Terrorism 2003", is by no means comprehensive. For instance, it does not include the August 25 car bomb blasts in Mumbai that killed 53 persons and injured 160 others. Nor does it include the two attacks on Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf last December. The report is markedly soft on Pakistan. Unlike the 2002 report, which stated that extremist violence in Kashmir was being "fuelled by infiltration from Pakistan", the new volume does not name Pakistan. Instead, it talks of "foreign-based" and Kashmiri groups.
