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

Correct about water. Some sugar type pills, candy bars etc. will deal with Diabetes side of the equation. If available of course. Bringing up an illness stacks the deck against an otherwise correct comment

Catch a few alive, then establish where they got their training. Obama couldn’t stand in the way of letting loose our Dogs of War at that point. He also couldn’t afford to be seen as playing nice with the ones we capture to ensure their rights.

[lainie]

it’s rather bizarre, that’s for sure.

Paki ambassador to the US is on CNN with Wolf Blitzer. He blames Al Qaeda, deflecting any involvement of Pakistan. uh huh

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Given an excuse to rampage, such as a perfectly deserved and valid attack on islamic iran, attacks such as these will flare up in THOUSANDS all over the globe including inside America.
~~~
Time is short to take out Iran,,,

Will the POTUS pull the trigger ?

Moozzi won’t last long in the USA if they pull that krap

Here,,,

It’s deer season in Louisiana...;0)

[Indian_Fighter_Kite]

The indian PM hinted that its Pak thats responsible .

[SlowBoat407]

Sounds like someone is trying to start a war but with whom?

AQ is trying to trigger a war against islam so the rest of the muslims will join the jihad and defend the faith.

US spies killed in terrorist raid

US spies killed in terrorist raid

NEW DELHI: Even though the Indian government has refrained from dragging Islamabad directly into the Mumbai terror attacks, insinuations suggest that diplomatic relations between the two countries may suffer in the aftermath of the attacks.

It is believed that the terrorists identified and then killed two senior US intelligence officers staying at the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in his address to the nation, pricked Pakistan thrice without naming it. The security agencies in New Delhi told reporters they suspected the role of Al Qaeda in the attacks. The agencies believed their suspicion arose from the way the terrorists captured Taj hotel and successfully identified two senior US intelligence officials by checking the passports of the foreigners who were staying there, sources said

“Oh Allah, destroy the Hindus and do it in the worst of ways”

Piety. “The battle that is underway in Mumbai is a battle for Allah between its servants and the infidels.” Will the UN charge the person who wrote that with “defaming Islam”?

“India: Al-Qaeda websites rejoice over Mumbai attacks,” from AKI, November 27 (thanks to News4U):

Mumbai, 27 Nov. (AKI) - Al-Qaeda websites on Thursday were swamped with messages from people who were celebrating the devastating Mumbai attacks which have left over 100 people dead and 281 injured. “Oh Allah, destroy the Hindus and do it in the worst of ways,” was one of the comments that appeared on Islamist forums on the Internet immediately after the attacks.
“The battle that is underway in Mumbai is a battle for Allah between its servants and the infidels,” said another message published on the al-Falluja forum.

Several Al-Qaeda sites also posted several pictures of the victims in Mumbai and provocative statements....

Apparently one of the terrorists had worked in the kitchen of one of the hotel restaurants for the past 10 months.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Interesting, that thread got almost zero interest at the time.

We should check our 5 star hotels for who is staying too long.

Two U.S. Intel officials killed at the Taj.

Fox news just reported that there is someone on the first floor of the Taj signaling with a light for help.

I saw it and thank you SE Mom.
I appreciate it.

Mumbai terror attacks: Spy agencies warned of a ‘spectacular’ - Exclusive By Chris Hughes Security Correspondent 28/11/2008

Anti-terrorism forces were warned about the Mumbai massacre days before the attackers struck.

Indian intelligence knew a “spectacular” was being planned by a little-known Pakistan-based group.

MOST WANTED: Abdul Qureshi masterminded the massacre (www.sify.com)

Undercover agents launched a desperate hunt for the plotters but were unable to track them down.

Just days before they intercepted telephone calls and radio conversations in which Punjabi-sounding voices were heard talking about an attack.

A Western intelligence source said: “Indian security forces knew something big was being planned. Details were fed into the intelligence system in India and the US but little could be done.

“It appears that many of those involved travelled into Mumbai on the day of the attack. That is why they could not be found.”

CNN reporter live in Mumbai saying in America reporters would never be allowed so close to an unfolding event as they are in India. She’s been within a few feet of where the shooting and action takes place- journalists all over.

At the moment all the journalists are crouched down avoiding fire. Lots of gunfire still ongoing.

[WestCoastGal]

It is amazing that they are pretty much left on their own to decide how close to get.

I heard that report, she also mentioned the police that are there are standing behind the reporters with their arms folded.

[FARS]

I hope the Indian authorities are finding time to view videos of the events.

I have noticed a number of slightly older gawkers who would easily profile as islamists and might be recognized by the Indian anti-terror forces or by Pakistan’s ISI (possibly as some of their own).

One appeared to be an Iranian.

Worth a good look as criminals return to the scene of their crimes and here it would be organizers, group leaders or those in the know scrutinizing the results.
