At least 80 people were dead and 250 injured in the terror attacks, hospital sources said.
Two terrorists were still inside the Oberoi Hotel and commando operation was on.
Terrorists hijacked white police jeep near Metro cinema in South Mumbai.

Based on how the Indians handled those pirates earlier this week, I’d say that Al Qaeda won’t get off so lightly once they recover, regroup, and strike back inside Pakistan.
You have the audacity to say this??? Human beings are losing their lives for gosh sake.
And then there were none....
As soon as the troops are trained in hugging.
Bombay, India. MAJOR city.
If Pakistan is behind it, nuke tensions heat up since both Pakistan and India have nukes.
The US has to get involved...unfortunately.
Fox News was errant imo by saying “Mumbai” but not saying India. Not everyone knows that Mumbai used to be Bombay. I didn’t know either. This is a thanksgiving present from radical islam.
I had to look up some info myself. Mumbai is the 3rd largest city in the world.
Stupid Indian Jokes are reserved for the idiot Biden. Most Indians are good people and friends of the US. If this war ever gets to be fought the way it should be fought it will be good that India will be on our side.
Do you think that islamo-terrorists are only in PAKISTAN and AFGHANISTAN and that it’s enough to catch Ben Lamen to fix the problem...?
Well,OSAMABAMA seems to believe that!
And it is plein stupid as it is a worldwide cultural/civilisational war which is going on...in Africa,Asia,Europe....and sooner or later North America
The Religion of Piece strikes again.
These are the people, if you can call them people, that the Democrats want to give lawyers to. These are the sociopaths and psychopaths that the Democrats and their ACLU lawyers want to tell us deserve all the Constitutional Rights of an American citizen. These are the Islamic sociopaths and psychopoaths who the Democrats want to open our borders to, so that they can come here and do the same thing in Disneyland California that they just did in Bombay. In fact, expect it very soon. Because these are the Democrats who basically run everything in this country. Because Disneyland is on the top ten list of the terrorists, they said so themselves.
You know, theres a lot of these Islamic psychopaths. Where we going to put them all after we close down Gitmo?
The Democrats in California, they want to investigate the Mormon Church. But they dont want to investigate the Islamic terrorists riding the BART train right now.
Ever notice how Obama pronounces the word Pakistan (PAWQ-es-Stan). Like a native. Wonder why and how hes picked up saying that word just like a native Pakistani would?
How many of these terrorists were Pakistani? More or less the number of Pakistanis who hit the tubes in London?
Lets all be like Barack. Lets all say PAWQ-es-Stan together. Just like Obama does.
Hes so smart. You know, he is so much smarter than all of us. Hes smarter than me.
Has smarty pants come out and made a statement yet? Lets hear him say Pakistan again like a good pundit. Like a good PAWQ-es-Stan-e.
How many PAWQ-es-Stan-es are crossing the border of Mexico right now and heading to Anaheim, California? How many have already crossed the Mexican border?
You know, they have real strict gun control laws in India.
But those Islamists sure had a lot of heavy iron as they murdered those 100 people in Mumbai, good ol Bombay.
Wonder if our stick gun control laws are going to save Disneyland?
Dont worry. Obama has all the answers. Hes so smart. Just look at how he can play basketball. How he can say PAWQ-es-Stan.
Maybe when you feel like it, you can tell us what they were doing there and how old they were?

Where is Kev?
Now maybe it would be best to let them have at it. It would deplete their atomic arsenals before they get used on us.
His reply was "thank God Bush is still in charge"..

Time: GMT +5:30 (2:25 a.m.)
Approx 8 locations in Mumbai were hit by terrorist attacks:
Our "gun control" laws will just about guaranty that this will happen somewhere within our borders -- and Disneyland is as likely a place as any.
I sent message “did you hear about the terrorism attacks in India” to my 2 sisters. The liberal Obama lover one wrote back, “bad things can happen anywhere”. Then said her son’s girlfriend has plans to travel to Mumbai over the winter holiday from college. I suggested she might want to change her travel plans. The liberal Obama lover sister said, “I don’t have time to research this right now to see who is responsible for this and why, but I don’t see why she should cancel her plans”.... People are FRIGGIN’ BLIND TO THIS TERRORIST STUFF. God Bless George W Bush and protect us under the new order in January...
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
