Mumbai: At least 15 people have been injured in gunfights between two groups in at least three places in Mumbai on Thursday night.

Details are sketchy but it is believed that two gangs fired at each other at outside CST Railway Terminus, Hotel Oberoi and the popular Café Leopold restaurant in Mumbai.

The first shooting took place near the CST police station

Numerous reports from many hours ago say Alpha was released for “the Panama Route” (whatever that could mean)....anybody know anything more up to date?

Oh thanks a lot!

LOL

In the middle of the last century what with the influx of “gurus” from India (including The Baby Guru and the beatles guy) research showed that Indians laughed at all the dupes here that hung on their every word.

And gave them money, one of which bought a couple of dozen Rolls Royces!

Indians knew that almost anyone from India could qualify as a guru in the U.S.

I think it means the Panama Canal - at least that was the historical meaning of the name, in contrast to the Nicaraguan route. (See drawing at bottom of page . )

Otherwise no further news - apart from what I posted in #1719.

Maneesh all I can is my condolences for your loss.

2 Pak vessels apprehended off Gujarat coast

Posted: Nov 27, 2008 at 2208 hrs IST

The mourningNew Delhi : In its search to find the ‘mother ship’ of the terrorists who have attacked Mumbai, India apprehended two Pakistani merchant vessels off the coast of Gujarat in a joint operation carried out by the Navy, Coast Guard and the water wing of the Border Security Force (BSF).
“We have apprehended two cargo ships in a joint operation near the Gujarat coast while they were sailing to Karachi. They are suspected to be the ships that ferried the terrorists near to Mumbai coast yesterday,” Home Ministry sources said.

The three sea-guarding forces were put on a high alert after intelligence agencies gave inputs about a merchant vessel, suspected to be involved in the Terror attacks on Mumbai since Wednesday, trying to move towards Karachi in Pakistan.

The forces were, in fact, conducting their routine joint exercises in the general area of the Gujarat coast when they received the intelligence inputs and they immediately diverted their assets for searching the run-away merchant vessel.

In the evening, Indian ships sighted two ships including the one about which intelligence agencies had given a tip-off,” Home Ministry sources said.

The Indian ships apprehended both the cargo ships, which were identified as MV Alpha and MV Al Kabir. Officers of the three forces were ascertaining the credentials of the crew on board the two ships, sources added.

If Paki complicity is even implied this could go critical fast.

"I think it means the Panama Canal "

It just seems so wierd....are they going to cross the Pacific to get to the Atlantic...or are they going to cross the Atlantic to get to the Pacific???

I don’t know. The ship is registered to:

Eastern Dragon Shipping Co.
338 Lach Tray St. Ngo Quyen Dist.
Hai Phong, Vietnam
Tel/Hp : 31-728107,31-728088
Fax : 31-728055,31-728117

However, the page about the vessel (its routes and other stuff I assume) is locked (for clients only).

Truly tragic, and his friends (two of’em) too. Who could have guessed.

There are some seriously delusional people in this world.

Home Minister Shivraj Patil and the airing of live footage by television channels on Thursday compromised rescue operations at the hotels

Thanks for the updates. The Karachi news are interesting and a little bit worrying.

Yeah, it’s unnerving. I’m at a loss for how to find news sites worth a darn in Karachi, too.

[ScaniaBoy]

Yeah, that’s what we trust our MSM to do. Ha, ha, ha, ha.....

OK, I’m getting tired and my flu’ isn’t getting better. It is 10.30 pm here in Stockholm so I’ll retire.

Hopefully, by the time I wake up the hostages have all been saved and every terrorist in Mumbai will have met his deserved end.

[lainie]

Let’s hope so. I’ll say prayers too.

Feel better and get good rest. Thanks for all your posts. See you in a few hours.
