Coverage
Ten simultaneous terrorist attacks on 26 November 2008 occurred across Mumbai (Bombay), India’s financial capital and largest city.[6] At least 101 civilians, including at least six foreign nationals, have been confirmed dead, and at least 287 have been injured.[3] Attacks took place in South Mumbai, at the crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station; two five-star hotels, the Oberoi Trident and Taj Mahal Palace & Tower; the Leopold Café, a popular tourist restaurant; the Cama Hospital; and the police headquarters where at least three high-level officers, including the anti-terrorism chief, were killed by gunfire. A previously unknown organization identifying itself as the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility by email sent to news organizations.[3] Some media reports have attributed these terrorist attacks to Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based Islamic militant group.[7][8] According to some news reports, a terrorist holding hostages at the Oberoi told an Indian TV channel that they wanted all ‘Mujahideen’ in Indian prisons released before they released their hostages. He also indicated that there were seven terrorists holding hostages at that location.[9][10]Armed with AK-47 rifles, two terrorists entered the passenger hall of the CST railway terminal at about 10:30 p.m., opened fire and threw grenades, killing at least ten people.[3][11] Two terrorists held fifteen hostages, including seven foreigners, in the Taj Mahal hotel.[12]. CNN is reporting that the hostage situation at the Taj has been resolved and quoted the police chief of Maharashtra state as saying that all hostages have been released.[6] Forty people are being held as hostages in the Oberoi Trident hotel.[13] Six blasts are reported to have taken place at the Taj hotel and one at the Oberoi Trident. [14][15] The Taj Mahal Hotel was reported to be completely under government control at 4:22 a.m. [6] Both hotels are on fire and have been surrounded and stormed by Rapid Action Forces commandos.[4][16] All terrorists are out of the Taj hotel, and police and firefighters are working to rescue the estimated 50 people trapped inside. Low-intensity blasts were reported in Vile Parle and a grenade attack in Santa Cruz. Two blasts were reported in the Nepean Sea Road area of south Mumbai.
