-------Mumbai Attacks-----
The evening across the suburbs of Mumbai was going on as usual on the November, 26 . People were returning to their homes after the days work from CST railway station. Guests were coming in and going in at the Taj and Hilton Towers, two of the best hotels across the Marine Drive (commonly known as the Queens Necklace). Some people were having coffee at the Leopad Cafe. Suddenly gun shots were heard all across, grenades were thrown and the dream city turned into a battle field. A residential complex called Nariman house was held by terrorists as their base camp. For more and 58 hours terrorists had held some of these places as their breeding grounds. India and the entire world had glued to their TV sets watching the entire drama. These attacks had literally brought the entire city on hold.
The only way to explain this is "Brilliant planning and master execution planned by some great master minds of the black world". It seems that terrorists were already staying the hotel as guests and a couple of them were working as house keeping staff. In Nariman house the stocks of ammunition were being piled up for weeks before the day. These terrorists actually hijacked a police vehicle and fired on anything that came in their way. Several police personnels, common public lost their life during those fateful days.At the Taj hotel and Trident hotel many tourists were held hostages for over two days.
Unofficial figures for the number of people who have lost their lives is over 300 and over 700 injured.
Brave Comondos from the NSG, the Indian Army personnles and the Police fought the battle for over 4 days to free many people.
With the whole world uniting for the war against terror we hope to see some good thing happening.
