The US and other consulates have been after the Gov since the Bali attacks to increase security in Goa. I have heard through some sources I know that the UK has a small task force on the ground in Goa this season. The high risk areas IMO are Baga and Anjuna where all the Isrealis are.

I hope the Indian government get their act together before its too late.

About 2-maybe 3years back when I was there the Anjuna wednesday flea market had to be evacuated mid-morning (until the following week) as some crank hoaxer had telephoned with a bomb warning,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

What's wrong with the Israelis, me no understand.
You mean somebody has something against them or one of them has something against the rest of the world?
