WASHINGTON: The State Department said on Friday that five US citizens had been killed in the attacks on Mumbai and that more Americans remained missing.
"The Department is now able to confirm the deaths of five American citizens. Consular staff have been in contact with all of the victims' families," Gordon Duguid, acting deputy spokesman, said in a statement.
"The Consulate in Mumbai will continue to work with the Indian Police until all missing American citizens have been accounted for," he added.
The State Department did not identify the victims killed in the wave of attacks by Pakistan-based Islamic militants that have left up to 155 dead.
Earlier, the Synchronicity Foundation, a meditation community outside Charlottesville, Virginia, said two of their members, a father and daughter, had been killed at the Oberoi Hotel.
And a Jewish outreach group said a New York-based rabbi and his wife had been killed in an assault on the group's center in Mumbai.
Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was born in Israel and moved to New York as a child, and his Israeli wife, Rivka, were the directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, the community said.
The couple's son Moshe, who turns two on Saturday, was rescued from the attack by their nanny, and has now been handed over to his grandparents -- who live in Israel.
pay back is coming
Not from Obarry.
I can just see the new version of “payback” in 2009:
“You misunderstood freedom-fighters are requested to cease your activities as early as is convenient! By Order of The One (piss be upon him)!”
I don’t care what comes out of the State Department. That agency’s been worthless for over 50 years.
And, of course - we will do nothing...
Americans have become fair game, and it’s open season around the world.....
Lunatics and fanatics have no fear of reprisals......it appears we can be killed with impunity...
This must change... I no long care to be loved around the world - I prefer to be feared beyond anything known to man in their darkest nightmares..... Our foolish attempt to buy love or to compromise to secure love has been a fatal disaster.
Certainly not from either Bush or Obama!
Twitter reports indicating it’s over at the Taj.
You must mean payback to America with more terrorist attacks for being dumb enough to elect you know who?
My feeling is Leo Donofrio and 5 SCOTUS Justices are about the last thing America has protecting us from disaster.

Pretty much a given that Obama will do nothing in response to terror attacks like this one. Therefore, we can expect more of them... Maybe, who knows, a couple a year for the next four (or eight, God forbid) years? Add a couple of years carry over effect of an Obama administration and lots of Americans who are 60 today may never see another time in their lives when Americans are relatively safe from terror. Just great. Thanks a lot, ‘rats. You’ll never be forgiven.
Not from America. The WOT is racism against Muslims.
In fairness to Obama, we don’t really know what he would do in this situation.
We only know what he told the left wing Daily Kooks and unwashed masses who want the Gubmint to pay their mortgage for them in order to get elected.
Maybe he and SOS Hillary will torture the terrorists as much as they tortured us conservatives.
Well just take him at his word. He wants to talk to them.
Not from Obamaites. They think this crap should be treated as a crime with Miranda warnings, constitutional rights, public defenders and liberal judges chomping at the bit to release them from GITMO.
Impossible to do that, let's just say he'll do whats politically expedient to do for Barack.
More than that....maybe a national day of mourning for the Muslim “freedom fighters”...
