Here is more from this source:

http://lubavitch.com/news/article/2024542/Search-for-Chabad-Family-in-Mumbai-After-Terrorist-Strike.html

T he situation is grim late Wednesday in Mumbai (Bombay) India where reports of more than 80 dead and 250 wounded are seeping out of the beleaguered city. Most distressing to the international Jewish community are rumors that an Israeli family has been taken hostage and three of its members killed. Also concerning is the silence from Chabad’s representatives to Mumbai, Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. No one from the Chabad center has been heard from since the attacks.

The dead and wounded are victims of a sophisticated plot in which seven locations throughout the city were attacked by terrorists. Several of the city’s most exclusive hotels, a restaurant, train station, and hotel were bombed. The attacks come as the country is consumed by controversial elections.

The city, which is India’s financial capital, plays host to many foreigners and their embassies are assisting in the search and rescue efforts.

Lubavitch personnel in Bangkok, Israel and New York are working closely with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the U.S. government to help establish contact with the Holtzbergs and other missing persons in the Chabad House area.

Mumbai’s Chabad House, situated near the sites of destruction, is a popular stop for Israeli tourists. The Holtzbergs offer a host of programs, including providing kosher food, to locals and visitors alike.

Prays for the hostages and their families. And I hope swift action is taken, because if not it will signify weakness.

Army storms Mumbai's besieged five-star hotels

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Army_storms_Mumbais_besieged_five-star_hotels_/articleshow/3762100.cms

27 Nov 2008, 0416 hrs IST, AGENCIES
MUMBAI: Indian Army personnel early on Thursday stormed the two besieged five-star hotels in Mumbai to nab terrorists who had left at least 80 dead
hours earlier and to free a number of people including foreign tourists held captive there, officials said.

Mumbai's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) team was already at the Hotel Taj Intercontinental where the holed-up terrorists hurled a grenade towards advancing army troopers, the police officials said.

Two terrorists were killed in encounter at the Taj hotel.

Police officials said nine suspected terrorists were caught and two killed in shootouts following the yet another series of planned and synchronised attacks in the heart of India's financial capital around midnight on Wednesday.

Exchange of fire "is on between police and terrorists at Taj and Trident. Our people have surrounded them and the ATS team has arrived at the Taj hotel," said A.N. Roy, Maharashtra director general of police.

And so the terror continues.

There really are no words to describe the dregs of humanity committing these crimes.

This is the disgusting, predictable side-effect of giving Muslims their own homeland when they become too uncivil to live within the country they've been welcomed in. Pakistan is a faux country. It is a carved-out side-show piece of India given to Muslims in a stupid effort to create a "behave" zone for a religious suicide cult.

Go...India!

This is from Yeshiva World News:

As soon as the news broke of the Mumbai terror attacks, YWN contacted Chabad officials to inquire if the local Shaliach was assisting in rescue efforts - as is the case when tragedies occur across the globe. We also inquired if there were any Jews R”L killed and/or injured.

“We will get back to you as soon as we reach the Shaliach”, was the response.

Several hours have passed, and the local Chabad Shliach, Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, and his wife Rivka cannot be located. Numerous attempts to locate him have failed.

According to some reports, one of the bombs was detonated near the Chabad House located on 5 Hormusji Street - Nariman House in Mumbai’s Colaba area. Another Chabad official told YWN that there are unconfirmed reports that the Chabad House was “taken-over by the terrorists”.

“We are working closely with the American and Israeli Government’s to try and get credible information”.

“We are waiting for them to contact us,” the anxious mother-in-law of the Shliach, Mrs. Yehudis Rosenberg told a Chabad website. “It’s possible that the phone system in the country crashed - which is a frequent occurrence there.”

The Tzibur is requested to say Tehillim for Gavriel Noach ben Freida Bluma; (his wife) Rivka bas Yehudis; (and their son) Moshe Tzvi ben Rivka.

[Numerous locations were attacked by gunfire and bombs - injuring close to 1000 and killing 80.]

Smite the jihadists wherever they are to be found. If non Muslims have no rights that Muslims are bound to respect, then it is axiomatic that Muslims have no rights that the rest of us are bound to respect..
