#1 This could be a good thing; well bad for those shanghied, but big picture good: if they are to be splodeydopes, they might just have a 'work accident' and take out those who kidnapped them. Or if given a weapon could suffer premature firing in a wrong ( read: towards the leaders) direction.
Frag by any other name is still dead terrs.

#3 The LeT is short of cadre as a large number of its men and top leaders were eliminated.

The mark of a severely, quite possibly fatally, damaged organization. They no longer have their best-trained people, and likely have lost quite a lot of well-trained people as well. So the newbies and the unpromotables are trying to train the uninterested, as well as to organize future actions to make use of skills they haven't much got. I imagine there'll be lots of work accidents as they try to teach one another using directions downloaded from the internet... once they figure out how to use the internet.

forcibly taking students away for recruitment Let's not forget that Taliban translates as students also. Are these public school lads that have been torn from their chemistry and their Chaucer? Or more likely madrassah boys, reared on the Koran, who've not quite gotten to the point of volunteering yet?
