Terror Attack After recent serial bomb blasts, it was the most violent terror attack on the Indian soil on Wednesday, November 25 in which more than 101 people have been killed including some foreigners in Mumbai. Except it more than three hundred people got injured when militants struck at some of city’s most high-profile targets by using heavy machine guns including AK 47′s and grenades. The toll could rise as hundreds of people were still trapped inside some hotel and other buildings and that had been surrounded by the city police, military and NSG commandos. According to the latest reports almost 11 police personal have also lost their lives while fighting against the terrorists that includes, chief of the anti-terror squad Hemant Karkare, additional commissioner of police ( Mumbai east) Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar.
Police Terrorists attacked various high-profile targets that includes Taj Hotel at the Gateway, Oberoi Trident at Nariman Point, Santa Cruz domestic airport, Cama and GT hospitals near CST, Metro Adlabs multiplex and Mazgaon Dockyard. According to some eyewitnesses militants sprayed bullets and lobbed grenades at people before entering some important buildings. More than 10 militants have been hold up inside the Oberoi and some other buildings. Security forces had launched ‘flush out’ operations immediately after the terror attacks. On Thursday, commandos had saved all those people who had been trapped inside the Taj Hotel building since Wednesday night. There are some rumors that terrorists have taken more and 40 American and Britain citizens as hostages. But Indian government had denied any such report.
Terrorists A little known terror outfit Deccan Mujahideen has taken the responsibility of the attacks. The name indicates that Deccan Mujahideen may be another wing of Indian Mujahideen, the terrorist outfit that is responsible for the recent serial bomb blasts in the various cities of India. In the overnight gun battle police had killed five terrorists and had arrested one. It is being said that the terrorist had entered the city through sea route as some explosives laden boats were found at the sea shore. This indicates that some of the terrorists may be Pakistani nationals. This indication is based on the information given by the captured terrorist. But Maharashtra deputy chief minister who also holds the home portfolio has refused to give more details by saying that it is not the appropriate time to disclose the information.
