No hostages remain at Taj.

DG NSG: Terrorists shot 3 hostages on the 2nd floor [Nariman House], then ran upto the 3rd floor, and killed 2 more b4 they were killed.

There are still 6 terrorists inside the Taj Hotel.

I thank President Bush for keeping us safe here in the US.
It has been a great accomplishment.
NDTV
Security forces are saying there are no more terrorists inside Nariman House, but that is not absolute.
Explosions are called ‘mopping up’ operations.
[Terrorists may have booby-trapped doors, etc., so security forces have to proceed with caution.]
Apparently, just 1 terrorist still alive at Taj.
Why has our “Dear Leader” not spoken out and condemned this latest act of terror?

Interesting to revisit the thread. Apparently I did see it on Wed, and dismissed it per references to gang violence. Didn’t realize what really happened until late Sunday.
