I can't see any reason to assume that this horrible business has anything whatsoever to do with who's in the White House or who isn't in the White House. I doubt very much if any of the people who organised this actually give a monkey's about that - still less the people who carried it out.

This appears to be the latest, and the most dramatic (though not by a long way the bloodiest) episode in a long-running series of mass communal killigs in the Indian sub-continent, which have only the remotest connection with the whole Al Qaeda business.
