According to reports from Mumbai, Indian commandos had circled the Chabad center, where at least eight hostages were believed to be held, and were reportedly preparing to storm the building in hopes of releasing the hostages.

Earlier Thursday, the family of the Chabad rabbi held hostage by the terrorists said that the captives were unconscious.
One of the terrorists holed up at the Chabad headquarters phoned an Indian television channel to say he was prepared to free his hostages if the government agreed to talks.
The family of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivki, said they knew nothing beyond reports that the couple’s 2-year-old son had been rescued, but eight people in the building were unconscious. The cook at the Jewish center fled the building, holding Moishe Holtzberg in her arms.
“Ask the government to talk to us and we will release the hostages,” the militant, identified by the India TV channel as Imran, said, speaking in Urdu in what sounded like a Kashmiri accent.
“Are you aware how many people have been killed in Kashmir? Are you aware how many of them have been killed in Kashmir this week?” he said.
Between 20 to 30 Israelis were also reported to be among the dozens of hostages held by gunmen at the Trident-Oberoi hotel in a separate siege in the city.
