These ‘horrific’ attacks were targeted against the former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and elite members of President-Elect Barack Obama’s Global economic team in India attending the “American Foreign Policy After Elections” conference
The members of Obama’s elite economic team attending this conference with Kissinger, these reports say, were Indian-Americans Sonal Shah, Google.org’s head of Global development efforts
Also, Aneesh Chopra, Virginia State’s secretary of technology, Vivek Kundra, chief technology officer for Washington, DC and Kartik Raghavan, a director at Microsoft.
