Doctors shocked at hostages's torture
Krishnakumar P and Vicky Nanjappa in Mumbai
They said that just one look at the bodies of the dead hostages as well as terrorists showed it was a battle of attrition that was fought over three days at the Oberoi and the Taj hotels in Mumbai. Doctors working in a hospital where all the bodies, including that of the terrorists, were taken said they had not seen anything like this in their lives.
"Bombay has a long history of terror. I have seen bodies of riot victims, gang war and previous terror attacks like bomb blasts. But this was entirely different. It was shocking and disturbing," a doctor said.
Asked what was different about the victims of the incident, another doctor said: "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatised. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said.
Asked specifically if he was talking of torture marks, he said: "It was apparent that most of the dead were tortured. What shocked me were the telltale signs showing clearly how the hostages were executed in cold blood," one doctor said.
The other doctor, who had also conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said.
Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said.
It is also said that the Israeli hostages were killed on the first day as keeping them hostage for too long would have focused too much international attention. "They also might have feared the chances of Israeli security agencies taking over the operations at the Nariman House," he reasoned.
On the other hand, there is enough to suggest that the terrorists also did not meet a clean, death.
The doctors who conducted the post mortem said the bodies of the terrorists were beyond recognition. "Their faces were beyond recognition."
There was no way of identifying them," he said. Asked how, if this is the case, they knew the bodies were indeed those of the terrorists, he said: "The security forces that brought the bodies told us that those were the bodies of the terrorists," he said, adding there was no other way they could have identified the bodies.
An intelligence agency source added: "One of the terrorists was shot through either eye."
A senior National Security Guard officer, who had earlier explained the operation in detail to rediff.com, said the commandos went all out after they ascertained that there were no more hostages left. When asked if the commandos attempted to capture them alive at that stage, he replied: "Unko bachana kaun chahega (Who will want to save them)?"
I'm heartbroken.

Its just a matter of time before we hear BO suggest that more outreach, sharing and fairness could have prevented the massacre.
And Obama wants my gun.........pfffffht !
Off topic a bit, but has anyone in PA heard about some sort of tax on each round of Ammo you buy. I have heard that the PA Morons want a five cent a round tax on ammo. HAs anyone heard of this?
What are the gun laws in India? Maybe India will rethink RKBA in light of this event. A few armed civilians amongst the population might accomplish what armed police were unwilling to do right at the start of this - kill some terrorists.
Reportedly 10 murderers did all this. 10 or less armed citizens could have kept the carnage to a bare minimum.
as said in another movie......from my cold dead hands
I’ve heard it is possible to get a gun permit but the bureaucracy in India is famous for taking a very long time to do anything.
And Americans are accused of atrocious treatment at Guantanamo. BS Maybe we should treat as they do.
Hey I have an idea, lets try to kill them before they kill us! Sorry to say for the next four years our elected officials will be making excuses for them and making every attempt to protect them and thier rights while the media feeds us garbage and makes every effort to NOT report the truth.
Israel better take note of what is coming their way....because given Obamanazi’s previous contacts with Pakistan..I don’t think Israel will trust him.
The Pensylvania ammo tax bill died on the 28th. See http://pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/s_600510.html
To quote from a Fish Called Wanda: g..g..g..g...GOOD!
I’d rather the terrorists be displayed in a recognizable state. Easier to track their movements and find their associates.
Did the killers put underwear on the victims’ heads?
Kalifornia proposed a 50 cent tax per round a couple of years ago.
Another proposal demands that each bullet carry a SERIAL number lasered onto the bullet.
