Terror attacks in Mumbai - 26 /11/08

Terrorists struck at India's financial capital late Wednesday night as at least five near-simultaneous firings and explosions rocked areas in the vicinity of posh hotels in South Mumbai, leaving two persons dead and ten injured.

Armed with AK-47 rifles and grenades, a couple of terrorists entered the passenger hall of crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal (CST) railway station and opened fire and threw a grenade killing two to three persons, Mumbai General Railway Police Commissioner A K Sharma said. He did not give details.

He, however, said 10 persons, including a policeman, were injured in the CST incident.

There were reports of firing around several landmark buildings in the Colaba-Nariman Point area, including the Taj hotel, Oberoi and other tourist attractions and pubs like Leopold's. The top floor of Oberoi was said to be on fire amid reports of blasts in the area and blood-smeared bodies were being brought out of the Taj lobby.

Firing and blasts were also reported from Mazgaon, the Metro Junction, Crawford Market and Colaba. There were reports of a blast in a taxi on the Western Express Highway, near Vile Parle, but there was no confirmation.

The firing and bombing apparently started close to the Gateway of India. The gunbattle then moved on towards CST and raged on for over 45 minutes from 10 pm, sending commuters running out of the station.

The assailants also fired into the crowd at CST and people on the trains and then ran out of the station themselves and into neighbouring buildings, including Cama Hospital, after being challenged by cops.

SRPF personnel then entered the iconic BMC building -- just opposite CST -- to take aim at the assailants, BMC commissioner Jairaj Phatak said. "We fear some of the assailants are still inside the station and we want to catch them if they come out," a police official said.

Vikhroli police station senior inspector Habib Ansari was on his way to work from his Colaba home when he saw two armed men, with sophisticated weaponry, trying to run into bylanes near the Gateway of India.

"I rushed back to Colaba and all policemen, including GRP and RPF personnel, were called up," he added.

Bhisham Mansukhani, a journalist, was attending a wedding reception at the Taj's Crystal Room. "I was inside the bar when glass shards almost hit my eye," he said. "More than 200 people were escorted inside Chambers, a business centre inside the hotel," he added.

India has become a constant target

India is the constant target of the terrorists. The terrorists are selecting different places and they are not thinking twice for the attack. The terrorists attack the places where a large number of people gather. The instances are Pune attack, Mumbai attack on 26/11 and there are many countless attacks that India has faced. The terrorists often warn the Indian government about their movement and actions. There are many terrorists groups in the country and the government cannot able to prevent them.
 
Terrorist and their weapons

The terrorists use different types of high definition weapons and ammunitions for the attack in different places. The people are mere play things in front of the weapons used by the terrorist. Even the police do not have such high definition weapons to counteract on them. The weapons that are used by the terrorists are very expensive and powerful. They are well equipped for the attack.
 
Making the most damage

Terrorists target the places where they could create the maximum damage and generate the maximum amount of fear. While the German bakery was thought to be safe and good place to hang out with friends, we got the real result. The Taj was a tourist hotspot with VVIPs checking in all the time. Now they would decide upon at first. Akshar dham was a holy place with a lot of devotees streaming every day. That too was changed.
 
Choose and blast

Yes, that’s the policy that the terrorists are following. Indian cities have become easy targets. In the last one year there have been around 15 major blast cases. So you see it’s more than one a month. Small incidents have become really insignificant. Did anyone ever imagine that a hangout place like ‘German bakery’ will get blasted? The terrorists are succeeding in their objective – spreading terror.
