I suspect there are thousands of Muslims in India and Bangladesh willing to support AQ. They already support other terrorist/insurgent/separatist movements in this region. AQ needs to win over just a slice of this spectrum to he effective in creating a crisis of confidence. Furthermore their attack on the Pakistani naval vessel may have failed, but it was sophisticated and bold. AQ linked elements failed the first time they attacked the WTC. We only fool ourselves when we dismiss these threats.
