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

I think he could stage a large scale air attack against FATA

Don't tease us. Hit every known safe house and terror camp.

Bump Dat!...

“Up to 19” refers to biggest report heard so far, not my own count.

Between Enchante’s report and the two I added, there are probably at least 13 aimpoints, 14 if the explosive boat is fact.

[HelloooClareece]

It’s astonishing that people being paid such good money to be a talking head on TV are so ignorant about how long terrorism existed before 9/11.

I’ll have to make new maps...

How's this.

Red China is, imho, a premier focal point of instability and evil in the world. If India were to even accidentally launch nukes anywhere, by the grace of God they should go off course and incinerate as much of Red China as the laws of physics would permit.

Why we, in the West, should have any financial dealings with these spawn of Satan is reprehensible. If there were a way to make it so, I'd give damned near anything to see a total cut off of all trade with those monsters and permit them to sink into financial and societal ruin.

THis article mentions a domestic airport

15 if the reports of an attack on Chabad House are accurate — I keep seeing online reports of hostage-taking there, too

[Dog]

I saw a report at the Times of London...that there were 19 attack points.

[hugorand]

I think that Google map is wrong on the location of the Taj. The map shows Taj President Hotel. I believe the one attacked is the Taj Mahal hotel.

[Palladin]

These guys did not all come in on speedboats. There must have been many sleepers waiting in their hovels for the word to attack.

[Palladin]

Thanks for defining MEP. So this is really an international incident.

[jeffers]

Maybe, maybe not. I’ve seen connections drawn between the Chabad House and Nariman Point, which you already listed.

Could be two different attacks, could just be one.

[Enchante]

I think you’re right — all the news references are to the “Taj Mahal Hotel” not to the “Taj Presidential Hotel” — and the photos from the news reports also seem to correspond with the Taj Majal Hotel:

But since there are reportedly 15-19 attack points, it may still turn out that both hotels were attacked??? I sure don’t know, but we may be a long way from knowing the full scope of what has happened.....

[CaptSkip]

I wonder if the timing is so as to have American and Jewish hostages to slaughter on world-TV during the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.

[onemiddleamerican]

One looks like he’s from the Phillipines.The other from Indonesia.

Maybe he's an old school chum of our president-elect?

(Just my lame attempt to lighten the mood during a very dark time for the Indian people and democracies everywhere.)

Only way to stop jihadis is to kill them dead.

[Deo volente]

Gunmen look vaguely Filipino to me, and very young.

[jeffers]

Bad scenario, but good thinking.

Hannity may be an idiot, but what you heard was a repeat as he is on vacation.
