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

Would you sacrfice the blood of innocents for political expediency? Is that what you're saying? Then let it happen in Sweden. Your way is no better than the terrorists' way.
Nariman House — crowd emerging from inside the house.
Siege appears to be over, or nearing conclusion.
Why couldn’t this have happened a few weeks ago?

Sorry, that was very badly put.
What I meant was that IF this was going to happen, why couldn’t it have happened earlier. Of course I don’t want to see any terrorist actions anywhere in the world.
I think that would be pretty clear from my previous comments.
possibly fresh gun fire being reported at nariman house
Operation not fully over at Nariman House - one floor remaining to be cleared.
IBN on-scene reporter:
One more floor needs to be cleared at Nariman House.
Most ‘hostages’ have been released. Unknown how many may be still on the remaining floor.
IBN reporter talking to police commander:
Operation is not over yet. There is still gunfire, still terrorist(s) inside.
IBN reporter on phone with police commander:
One known terrorist still alive, throwing grenades and shooting at Taj Hotel.
No, I am relatively new in JoCo, but we may have a mutual acquaintance or two. I met Gordon Anderson once and another few fellows collecting signatures. I also know a little about two of the new incoming city councilors for GP, but not very well.
I have observed a lot from a comfortable distance since I am not sure about who to trust - there are a lot of political intrigues here, scores of crooked lawyers, tax fraud, real estate fraud, insurance fraud, carpet bagging, grave robbing, extortion and blackmail - all aided and abetted by the local courts. You cannot find or trust a local attorney by any measure if you need one.
JoCo has the second highest use of methamphetamine in the country (from a federal LEO friend) and from what another police friend tells me in CA, in a very exaggerated way, about her county there, half of the people are on drugs and the other half sells drugs.
I don't know if the new state attorney general is true to his word (he is a Democrat) of rooting out corrupt government officials. If he is, there will be some hell to pay this year at the local courthouse. Too much of the corruption wears a mask of Republican respectability, there are also more than just a few Democrats here to run cover for them because they also have their hands in the public cookie jar and other unseemly practices.
I have noticed many of the local officials behave in a terroristic manner. (JoCo was a known haven for the KKK).

Most likely 1 terrorist still in Taj. Throwing grenades.
Fire has broken out again on one of the upper floor windows (same area as yesterday).
No hostages remain at Taj.
why couldn’t it have happened earlier
You STILL want a terrorist attack to give you a different outcome, in an election no less!
According to FBI statistics; 14,000 terrorist attacks occurred in 2006. 14,000! The terror attacks resulted in 22,000 deaths, of which 28 were American.
Americans are pathetically unaware of the nature and breadth of terrorism happening around the world. It is my contention that the US election would not have ended in a different outcome, were this attack to have happened before the election.
I'm trying to answer you in a civil manner, regarding what I consider to be an untenable position.
IBN banner indicates that heavy gunfire at Nariman House.
NDTV - Nariman House situation is still ongoing. May be 2-3 terrorists still inside. Reporter says she has heard no gunfire in the last 30 minutes or so.
NDTV - only 1 terrorist known to still be in Taj Hotel.
You are trying to construe a position I have not maintained.
Obviously you do not understand the logics of hypotheticals.
Other posters understood what I meant.
Let’s leave it at that.
You can think what you will about me - and I will not waste more time discussing it.
Twitter stream says that 5 hostages were killed at Nariman House.
(Floors 1, 2, and 4. Floor 3 still hasn’t been cleared yet.]
Reuters reporting the jewish hostages have been killed. Possibly up to nine.
I must have missed it, but where is JoCo?
Oh no. There were 4 confirmed hostages (the rabbi and his wife, 2 israeli men) + possibly some more.
