The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it – revealing he was ordered to ‘kill until the last breath’.
Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people.
He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages.
Mercifully, the group, armed with plastic explosives, underestimated the strength of the 105-year-old building’s solid foundations.
As it is, their deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces.

Oh, by all means, i sympathize with your frustration. It would take so little to tip the scales away from the horrific success these terrorists enjoyed. Nevertheless, the scales lean stubbornly against us without at least some commitment to taking responsibility for ones own safety.
Also, you are absolutely correct on the choice of weaponry for personal protection. But you should bear in mind the advantages of an AK can be quickly negated by the knowledgable handgunner.
Makes me wish I could have gotten training when I was in my 20's or 30's. I don't think women were even allowed on police forces or military then.
I can't imagine even wanting to shoot anyone except a home invader, but I could have shot one of those terrorists in a heartbeat if I'd had a chance and the means, would have risked going to jail over it, too.
Maggots at least serve a purpose..." Yeah, and you can't call them pieces of s*** because s*** has it's good purposes. I prefer to call people like them large, infected, puss filled, boils on the @ass of humanity.
You are incorrect.
Previous Presidents treated over 20 years of terrorist acts against America as crimes and sought the arrest and due process for the perpetrators.
At the time of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack America finally had a President with the courage to declare war on terrorism, wherever found. That President was President George W. Bush.
Sorry, but I took your original posting the wrong way. It’s probably due to the hearing the regular drumbeat from the left that if not for Bush and his WOT, everyone would be living in peace and singing kumbaya.
