mumbai attack


In one of the most violent terror attacks on Indian soil, Mumbai came under an unprecedented night attack as terrorists used heavy

machine guns, including AK-47s, and grenades to strike at the city's most high-profile targets -- the hyper-busy CST (formerly VT)city rail terminus; the landmark Taj Hotel at the Gateway and the luxury Oberoi Trident at Nariman Point; the domestic airport at Santa Cruz; the Cama and GT hospitals near CST; the Metro Adlabs multiplex and Mazgaon Dockyard -- killing at least 80 and sending more than 900 to hospital, according to latest reports

A reporter talks on her phone as smoke is seen coming from Taj Hotel in Mumbai November 27, 2008.

my heart felt condolences for the people dead and injured!!!!.....

update today-8.00am-Fresh firing erupted early on Thursday in Taj hotel as commandos moved in to flush out terrorists holding some foreigners hostage.

whats more sickening is when we think...the authorities wont do anything concrete in return. i dont get this whole episode(s) bro. it baffles me so much to think were going to sit through accusations and fingers pointing for the next good weak or so.
