Andreas Liveras, 73, was gunned down moments after he phoned the BBC from inside the Taj Mahal hotel to give an eyewitness account of the terrorist attacks.
He was one of dozens of Britons either injured or taken hostage by Islamic extremists during a series of co-ordinated raids on Western targets.
Eyewitnesses said the terrorists, who indiscriminately gunned down anyone in their path and set fire to the Taj Mahal and the Oberoi hotels, specifically targeted British and American tourists when they began taking hostages.
The killers demanded a list of the names and room numbers of all British and American guests at the Oberoi hotel, before rounding up hotel guests to begin a siege which has entered its second night with the fate of the hostages still unclear.
Indian officials said they were unsure how many hostages remained in the hotels following 24 hours of gun battles with soldiers, nor was it clear how many people remain trapped in their rooms by the fires.

This gets curiouser and curiouser!
...he refused, thinking it couldn't happen there at the 5 star hotel...
....I'm curious if he was in a room with a thousand others, how did he end up getting shot...
..was he singled out?
It has to do with an economic conference attended by master globalist Henry Kissinger on the India/Pakistan oil pipeline.
They were looking for the people who attended that conference.
Was he killed because the news reported that he and other hostages were hiding in the basement of their hotel?
One UK couple has reported that CNN reported on their location hiding in the basement and the terrorists came down in an elevator and used a flsahlight in the dark to find people and shoot them.
see my comment
I think he was in a group hiding in the dark - CNN reported it. The terrorists watched the news or got word on their blackberries, then went down to the basement with a flashlight and shot people they could find.
If so, I hope his family sues CNN for wrongful death. They killed those people trying to get the story.
CNN SHOULD BE SUED!
