Indian troops have stormed Mumbai's luxury Oberoi and Taj Mahal Palace hotels after reports that terrorist attackers had taken tourists hostage.

At least 78 people have been killed and more than 200 injured in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks across India's

Just watching this on the news now. Looks like a bloody nightmare and it looks like the Taj Palace is on fire now. It appears the terrorists were singling out those with British and US passports.

 Joe Biden called that one right.
Get used to it....The West have lost their balls and them scum bags know it

[Declan]

Scary stuff. Have stayed in both of those hotels over the last few years wile in Mumbai with work. Can't even imagine what it would be like to be caught up in it.

[The Gs Man]

Can't believe this isn't at least a 5 pager by now.

Scary stuff.  Army are now securing one of the hotels floor by floor.  Shootings and explosions flat-out.

What are the demands/motives of the attackers?

this is probably a Pakistani Military Intellegence backed group causing mayhem over Kashmir. What exactly has the west got to do with it

[Orior]

Couldn't they just have played a game of cricket for the area in question?

Oh... i suppose it wouldn't really be cricket.

Thats what I initially presumed, but reports say they were trying to single out people with British and American passports, so that would probably rule out the pakistani military being indirectly involved.

[Zapatista]

The Irish Times are reporting that India's secuity will prob investigate possible links to Pakistan and/or Bangladesh due to past (alleged) involvment.

[corn02]

One of the terorists phoned a tv station and revealed it was to do with Kashmir.

No shock there - they've blamed them for pretty much all the terrorist attacks over the past few years. Sure it's not too long ago the eejits were on the verge of nuclear war over Kashmir. That would have solved the problem!
