#1 The caller was holed up in an ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach center where the assailants had taken hostages, according to cellphone records obtained by Indian investigators. "Are you aware how many people have been killed in Kashmir? Are you aware how your army has killed Muslims?"

#2 What Indian viewers heard was even more interesting - the usual rant, but in an accent from Pakistan's Punjab.

Millions knew at once that the attacker was Pakistani.

#3 Is it just me?
