Mumbai Under Attack

by bokkins Sun Nov 30, 2008 1:05 am

Late Wednesday night, Mumbai, India found itself the target of a ferocious terrorist attack, and the situation remains unresolved even now, three days later. According to reports, upwards of 60 young men entered Mumbai in small inflatable boats on Wednesday night, carrying bags filled with weapons and ammunition, and spread out to nine locations to begin their attacks. Lobbing grenades and firing their weapons, they entered hotels, a railway station and several other buildings, killing scores and wounding even more. As of this moment, the identity of the attackers has yet to be definitively determined, though there are reports indicating some of the gunmen were Pakistani - at least nine of them have been killed, nine more arrested. As of this writing, there were a reported 151 people killed from 11 different countries - though nearly 100 were Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations still exist in the city.

I was following this tragic happening since Wednesday. So sad...anger and disbelief....It took 60 hrs to bring it to halt. Sad

My condolences to the family of those who were killed and my sympathy to Indian people.

We hope and pray that it will not happen again.....not in India but anywhere else...
