As you know, terrorism was in the news over Thanksgiving. It took place in India, which has experienced major terrorist attacks before (see “Safety and Security” on the State Dept.’s web page of country-specific information for India).
The University Library has resources for learning more about terrorism. Search the Library Catalog to find book titles such as the 2003 No end to war: terrorism in the twenty-first century (3rd-floor Main Collection, HV6431 .L354 2003), which includes a section called “Battlefields of the future 1: India and central Asia,” and 
the 3-volume title The making of a terrorist: recruitment, training, and root causes (3rd-floor Main Collection, HV6431 .M353 2006). Search the article databases to find titles such as “India and Southeast Asia in the age of terror: Building partnerships for peace” (Contemporary Southeast Asia: A Journal of International & Strategic Affairs, 2006, v.28, no.2, pp.297-321) and Inside the terrorist mind (Scientific American Mind, 20072008, v.18, no.6, pp.72-79).
Please ask a reference librarian if you’d like assistance in finding materials.
