“Braking : Pak accepts India’s request to send ISI chief to India”

Ouch. The percentage of policeman lost right now appears to be about 10 % of the casualties. Definitely not good. You have some heroic policeman. From what I have heard, the terrorists had no body armor ? They were mainly using grenades for a defensive screen.
Bravery is good but it doesn’t really count for too much in unconventional urban warfare.
We need better use of technology, miniature unmanned aerial drones and ground based robots fitted with cameras to spot the holes where they’re hiding.
I’m sure there can be other used of such devices including during combat situations.
We need to minimize the loss of human life. Well ideally, we need to kill all the jehadis in their lil holes so that they don’t make it to our cities.
I am off for the night. Good luck and happy hunting.
Seemed like you lacked the ability to see through or around walls. Need heat signature optics and those snake cameras.

no, those are just rumors. Seems that one security person accidently let off his gun. There are NO additional attacks happening. All the terrorit scumbags are trapped in the Oberoi and Taj hotels and at the Nariman Jewish center
