Mumbai: At least 15 people have been injured in gunfights between two groups in at least three places in Mumbai on Thursday night.

Details are sketchy but it is believed that two gangs fired at each other at outside CST Railway Terminus, Hotel Oberoi and the popular Café Leopold restaurant in Mumbai.

The first shooting took place near the CST police station

I wouldn’t think there was official Pak. involvement but there certainly could have been a faction within the ISI that wants to undermine the Pak. govt. and subvert any cooperation between India and Pak.

True. And there is also a large faction in India that wants to undermine the Indian government and intimidate it into releasing Jihadis and elevating Muslims to positions of power.

I think 50-60 attackers may be about right. The RDX and hostages are typical Jihadi tactics. It’s a good thing they didn’t get to set off the RDX. They probably were trying to do what their brethren did in Bali.

Deepak Chopra is on CNN-International blaming it all on US policies, the WOT, the US is “creating extremists” with our “collateral damage” etc.

Of course, for such babbling leftists no evidence is ever required — all that matters is what’s convenient to serve their naive one-world ideology.

What a bozo...... CNN cut him off pretty quick — even they seemed embarrassed by his rant given that more innocent people may be dying any moment now from the hostage groups etc.

"It’s gotta be more than 10 guys."

I don't know where that number came from. There are supposedly 7 terrorists at Oberei and 5 at Chabad House, and there were at least 10 targets and 9 dead terorists so far. I'd be very surprised if the force was smaller than 30.

“if this had happened 4 weeks ago, we would be calling McCain “President-elect””

The percieved-to-be-weak Obama has been elected.
It’s open season on Americans and Brits now.

It sounds bigger than just 10, but how many did it take to bring down the World Trade Center and hit the Pentagon?

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Was that the same guy who was saying the terrorists were “petrified” of Obama? I turned that off.

From Twitter:

ONE MINUTE AGO

5-9 Terrorists still in the Taj with hostages.
3-5 terrorists at the Trident with Hostages.

Per Dir Corp Comm, Oberoi Hotels - CONFIRMED HOSTAGE SITUATION

This is far, FAR from over yet.

Deepak is an outspoken Obama supporter.

This is typical of Deepak Chopra and all too many other anti-americans.

9 “arrested”...

FYI: http://blog.wired.com/defense/ showing a picture of one of the attackers with a backpack over one arm.

Yes... I think we are going to learn a lot more in coming days. That area along the Pakistani coastline, south of Karachi, looks good for hiding most anything one would want to hide.

On a lighter note, now don’t get me wrong, plenty of places in the U.S. have humorous sounding names too, but northwest of Karachi I spotted: “ Ghot Yar Muhammad “.

We’ll see if they bust a safe-house...

That’s the one I was thinkin’ about...

Lots of old rusty hulks floating around in the Indian Ocean, Buying one on the black market would not cost much $$$. I’m predicting the rafts came from a mother ship. Launched an hour after sunset. Got to the beaches...lots of taxis...load the gear in the trunks and get a flotilla of chauffer-driven attack vehicles. Notice that there was one taxi with 5 aboard blown to smithereens with high explosives..... “...industrial accident?”
