BURNING ISSUES The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a

series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across Mumbai, India's financial capital and its largest city. The attacks, carried out by a Pakistan-based terrorist group using automatic weapons and grenades, began on 26 November 2008 and ended on 29 November 2008. At least 172 people were killed and at least 300 were injured in the attacks.

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-owned Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building behind St. Xavier's College. There was also an explosion at the Mazagaon docks in Mumbai's port area, and a taxi blast at Vile Parle.

HOW THEY COME

The attackers traveled by sea from Karachi, Pakistan, across the Arabian Sea to Mumbai. They entered via speed boats that were on board trawlers. The trawlers left Pakistan and stopped at Porbandar, India, before landing in Mumbai.

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.

THE TAJ ATTACK

After 60-houres rampage, the Tajwent up in flames as terrorists bombed the hotel and world watched it all live. Explosions and gunshots resounded from Taj Mahal HotelWhile the terrorists held people as hostage.

Two terrorists held fifteen hostages, including seven foreigners, in the Taj Mahal hotel. A rescue team of 200 commandos flew into Mumbai from New Delhi to take charge of the Situation. Reported at 23:00 that the hostage situation at the Taj had been resolved and quoted the police chief of Maharashtra state as saying that all hostages were freed.

THE CST ATTACK

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus was attacked by two terrorists, one of whom, Ajmal Amir Kasab was later caught alive by the police. The attacks began here around 21:00 when two terrorists armed with AK-47 rifles entered the passenger hall, opened fire and threw grenades, killing at least ten people.

An exploded bomb was found in red & black at CST & and another was exploded Ismail and Kasab are two terrorist starting firing at 9.00 pm.

Attacker

Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman, belonging to the Kasab or butcher community, is a Pakistani terrorist involved in the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. Ajmal Amir is the only terrorist captured alive by police and is currently in Indian custody. The Government of Pakistan initially denied that Ajmal was from Pakistan, but in January 2009, it officially accepted that Ajmal Amir Kasab was a Pakistani citizen.

NARIMAN HOUSE

Nariman House, a Chabad Lubavitch Jewish center in Colaba known as the Mumbai Chabad House, was taken over by two terrorists and several residents were held hostage. The house was stormed by NSG commandos and, after a long battle, the two terrorists were killed. However, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivkah Holtzberg (who was six months pregnant) were murdered with other hostages inside the house by the terrorists. According to one report, Nariman House, not the Taj Mahal Hotel, was the prime target on November 26 and The Mumbai crime branch, which is investigating the terror attacks, has found that the terrorists' handlers in Pakistan were clear this operation should not fail under any circumstances. The rest of the operations - at the Taj, Oberoi and Chhattrapati Shivaji Terminus - were intended to amplify the effect.
