This is going to be the biggest terror attack in India's history. It is going to shake the entire country from inside out, and the fallout from this is going to be huge.

 

[Awesome]

Just don't call it "India's 911". I've heard such terms be so abused over n over...

It would invite serious use of force against terrorists....

It does seem quite suspicious. He gets threats, hes closing in on the malegaon culprits and then a situation is created where the chief has to go in for the rescue op and then that big name chief is killed.

Thats classic man!

Thursday, November 27, 2008, (Mumbai)
About 200 people were on Wednesday night holed up inside a hall in the Taj Hotel in Mumbai as they were advised by the hotel staff not to go out because of the attack by terrorists.

They are holed up in the hall in the old wing of the hotel since 9.30 pm, when terrorists struck.

Krishna Das, MP, who was among those held up, said they had been advised not to move out of the hall till the police clears the place of terrorists.

He was having dinner with some friends in a restaurant of the hotel when he heard gunshots. The guests ducked under the table from where they had fleeting glimpse of terrorists who were firing indiscriminately.

At least 10 top business executives are also stuck on another floor of the hotel.

Something needs to be done...

But the hotel was stormed by some security officials over an hour back.

What happened?

They've been evacuated safely.

The terrorists opened fire in the lobby of the Taj earlier, so we might have had casualties.

There are something like 3-5 gunbattles happening right now - things are in a total state of confusion.
