Oberoi attack

Mumbai After battling the terrorists for two days at the Oberoi-Trident, the National Security Guards on Friday cleared the hotel of militants, killing two of them while six bodies were recovered from the premises.

"The Oberoi-Trident is now in under our control. The two terrorists holed up there have been killed," NSG Director General J K Dutt said outside the hotel in South Mumbai.

Six bodies were also recovered from the hotel, he said.

The NSG has recovered two AK-47 assault rifles, one pistol and grenades, some unexploded, from the terrorists, he said, adding the explosives will now be defused.

"We are presently sanitising every room to make sure no undesirable elements are there and relief can be provided to guests there," Dutt said.

NSG secures Nariman House, terrorists killed

The National Security Guards stormed into the Nariman House and got full control of the building by killing the armed terrorists. However, the last of the militants holed up in Taj Mahal hotel kept crack commandos at bay engaging them in a fierce gunbattle.

"Five hostages were killed by the terrorists. First floor of the Nariman House is yet to be cleared," NSG DG J K Dutta said.

terrorism by priti sinha on 29 Nov 2008

It is high time we learnt to distinguish between terrorism and a war in disguise. The correct response to the Mumbai attack is certainly not to raise our accusing fingers against a nation or two and sit back with brazen ease of willing suspension of disbelief. The aptest response to this would be to raise a central force having its own elaborate intelligence wing strictly meant for defending few most important cities, establishments and installations besides waging a full scale diplomatic war against the nation behind such dastardly cold blooded attacks against us. This central force would be responsible for thwarting any attack or threat to the peace of these cities either from outside or form inside. This might prove great step towards ensuring not only the nation’s security but also it’s integrity.

WHO's terrorist by Rajender Singh on 29 Nov 2008

WHERE IS THE SO CALLED SON OF SOIL - THE RAJ thackreyTHE PEOPLE WHO LAY DOWN THIER LIVES FOR INDIA AND HIS SO CALLED AMCHI MUMBAI IS INDIAN ARMY OR MEN IN UNIFORM THAT CONSIST OF PEOPLE FROM FROM WEST, EAST, NORTH AND SOUTH OF INDIA.SHAME ON THACKRAYS AND COMPANAY"Please send me Raj Thackeray's number, if you can find it. I don't know where he is when we need him. We want him to go and save 'Amchi Mumbai' along with his MNS (Maharashtra Navnirman Sena) men. After all they are the 'sons of the soil', aren't they? The Army and the commandos who are right now battling to save Mumbai are not all 'Marathi Manoos', are they? I wonder why they should risk their lives for us!" claims the television actress Shweta Salve.PLEASE Criticisize and dont encourage, vote people who divide indians, these are also terrorist! we need to select right Leaders?

Inidans to be blamed for this by mukesh on 29 Nov 2008

Why are people complaining for ?? They have brought this upon themselves. Go and elect some filmy or some phirangi ( as Indians are too fascinated by white skinned people as seen in their bollywood movies too who are dancing and prancing around semi nude) as your elected minister. If you stop discriminationg people on grounds of caste, religion , skin colour , India probably would have been a strong nation.

Its A Shame by Indian on 29 Nov 2008

I think its all political... its time to get some educated ministers in our country. we r sick n tired of all these attacks... wht is indian intelligence doing. they dont get paid to sit on their butts n do nothing. shame on them. these terrorists should be given a painful death... a death that makes everyone of their community shiver.

It is so digusting to see this kind of attack on us.. from some mere kids of a pathetic, deprived, undeveloped, barbaric country.. Pakistan!!! We have the richest people in the world, the robust economy, largest population, the most intelligent human resource...but why r we soo helpless!!! We have everything ..but not a LEADER!! High time we ban this congress party .. at least in BJP rule we may just have to deal with some Hindutva fanatics from inside but noone will dare to attack us like this from outside!!!

NSG by Peter on 28 Nov 2008

Kudos NSG, Kudos Indian Army. You silently do your job and expect nothing in return.

Raj thackery..the rogue by Cash on 28 Nov 2008

The reason why Raj Thakery maybe keeping quiet, perhaps these terrorists could be one of his peoples. Or he is woefully afraid. Raj can only oppress the poor and the downtrodden who could not even fight with a wodden stick. Raj thackery is not only a coward, but also a double tongued rogue who has nothing but propaganda to further his popularity which is declining from the educated masses. Worse is when this coward could not even give a statement, leave alone fighting..such is Raj thackeray

all by praveen on 28 Nov 2008

hi friends i agree with all of you. apart from success of this operation; why did the inteligence fail to identify this attack? The terrorists were using a latest guns, but out police have old models. this is a preplaned attack. they might be doing a rekky since last 2 to 3 months. even though our people were not able to find out this attack. this is a open secreat of our inteligence. these politicions are very cleaver they want to earn the amount with in 5 years. even u can see that adwani and PM came differently to visit mumbay. some thig has to be done to these politicions. how many peole have to die more? where is the limit for this terrorism? any way weldon indian army and NSG. once agin you proved. it is a lesson to the people who supports the terrorism.

We are not in 20th century by Guru on 28 Nov 2008

I think we are still in fudal period not in anyware near 20th centure (never mind 21st). Well when do we elect brave and courigious peoples as leaders? US and UK did it 70 years ago. We still find faults in our great heros and forgotten about them as quick as possible. We don't pay taxes and complain when a army askes for a littel wage hike. If you want change start from yourself and see how that affect crores.

well-done NSG Army by satish singh on 28 Nov 2008

well-done army and NSG people you are the real heroes of our nation country is proud on you people..

Terror in the heart of India by Franklin on 28 Nov 2008

The terrorist has struck just the heart of our country. Just blaming the neighbouring country will not work, firm action has to be taken not just words, ISI, eliminate it with the top brass, we indians can do it, with a firm hand. We have the right, like any other humans to live in peace in this part of the globe, we are not going to live in fear and timidness. Politicians should take a firm action in this regard. No blaming any poliitical party or person in this regard. Partliculary intellegence should be co-ordinated among all the wings and information should be shared and action should be taken without any delay.
