Well, it doesn't appear that this was going to be "Mumbai 2" but it certainly seems to prove that the jihadists of Pakistan have officially declared India as their number one target. Let's look at the details of how an anti-terror force in New Delhi stopped an apparent terror attack, from the article here at Breitbart:
This has GOT to have the Pakistani government shitting soda cans. The whole uproar in India over the Mumbai attack by Pakistani terrorists JUST started to die down and now we have what certainly appears as a renewed effort to kill Indian and create a huge crisis between countries.
But, I'm sure that the Pakistani government will issue some sort of denial that these two were even Pakistanis and thus we should probably see a fairly intense renewal of the Mumbai friction set up all over again.
Indian police shot and killed two suspected Pakistani militants on the outskirts of New Delhi early Sunday, a day before a national holiday that has put the country on high alert.
Brij Lal, a senior police officer in Uttar Pradesh state, told reporters an anti-terrorist team chased a car carrying two men towards the capital before intercepting it in the suburb of Noida, 20 kilometres (13 miles) from the city.
He said recovered passports indicated the two dead men were Pakistani, and police were investigating if they had links to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a militant group that India blames for November's attacks on Mumbai.
"They are definitely Pakistani but unless we examine the documents we cannot come to any conclusion (whether they belonged to LeT)," said Lal.
"The team asked the terrorists to surrender," he said, but they started firing at officers and in a fierce gunbattle the two men were shot in a nearby field and one officer was injured.
The militants died on the way to the hospital, he added.
Police said they found two AK-47 assault rifles, five hand grenades and detonators in the car.

Indian police kill two 'Pakistan militants' near Delhi
Indian police shot and killed two suspected Pakistani militants on the outskirts of New Delhi early Sunday, a day before a national holiday that has put the country on high alert.
Brij Lal, a senior police officer in Uttar Pradesh state, told reporters an anti-terrorist team chased a car carrying two men towards the capital before intercepting it in the suburb of Noida, 20 kilometres (13 miles) from the city.
He said recovered passports indicated the two dead men were Pakistani, and police were investigating if they had links to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a militant group that India blames for November's attacks on Mumbai.
"They are definitely Pakistani but unless we examine the documents we cannot come to any conclusion (whether they belonged to LeT)," said Lal.
"The team asked the terrorists to surrender," he said, but they started firing at officers and in a fierce gunbattle the two men were shot in a nearby field and one officer was injured.
The militants died on the way to the hospital, he added.
Police said they found two AK-47 assault rifles, five hand grenades and detonators in the car.
The incident occurred ahead of Monday's Republic Day holiday, which is being marked amid heightened security measures after the Mumbai terror attacks.
Fears that Islamist militants could disrupt the annual military parade have led to 20,000 heavily armed troops being deployed, according to Delhi police.
City police commissioner Y.S. Dadwal earlier warned that Islamist militants could try to attack the event, which is designed to display India's role as a regional economic and military power.
"There are intelligence inputs (of possible strikes by guerrillas)," Dadwal said.
New Delhi -- backed by many international governments -- says LeT militants led November's carnage in Mumbai, India's financial capital, in which ten gunmen killed 165 people.
The lone surviving attacker is in Indian custody.
India has said that given the level of sophistication of the attacks, the group must have had support from some of Pakistan's "official agencies" -- a charge Islamabad has rejected.
Commissioner Dadwal said a "ground-to-air security apparatus" was in place for the Republic Day celebrations with anti-aircraft guns, snipers and helicopter gunships at the ready to thwart militant strikes.
