MUMBAI, India (AP) — Police commandoes surrounded the headquarters Thursday of the ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch, which gunmen had seized overnight during a series of coordinated attacks across this seaside city. Thousands of gawkers stood in the narrow alleyways near the white, five-story building, where heavy curtains hung behind windows broken by gunfire. Neighbors had tried to protect the house as armed gunmen seized it Wednesday night.

“Residents tried to protect the center, clashing with the gunmen and throwing rocks at them in an effort to drive the militants away, said Puran Doshi, a local businessman who lives nearby.”

God bless those people. It might have been foolhardy against men armed with AK-47s, but I admire their bravery!

Think of our possible future, throwing rocks because we were dis-armed.

They have been planning this for some time, I think. While, BHO is not the man for the White House, this nasty business would have happenned if McCain had won IMHO.

From what I’ve heard the primary targets were Israelis and Jews, and then Americans and British, and then Indians who are associated with them. I hope the intelligence services of all can work as closely as team-mates on a championship team, and not compartmentalize.

I hope the Jewish captives can be rescued. Unfortunately these are not your garden variety kidnappers. They’d probably rather die than release any prisoners. I presume that the Indian officers are well aware of the kind of terrorists they are dealing with. Prayers for the hostages.

Obama will do his best to restrict gun ownership here so this can't happen in the US.

A group of suspected Muslim militants claimed responsibility.

"Suspected" Moslem militants? What do they say they are? Amish?

The DUmp is cheering for the terrorists. A lot of bile directed towards Chabad.

Think archery skills, not kidding. We have an amazing resource of hunting archers both traditional and compound users, develop and refine skills in many things, including Ham radio (don't forget morse code, besides being fun, a relatively cheap way to create a network of information). Batteries still provide power you know, good emergency stuff.

Some FReepers in Ham radio ought to outline a simple but effective plan on getting into that.
