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.

Fighting Terror by V K Das on 28 Nov 2008

The nation has once again been saved by our defence services while the civil and police services twiddle thir thumbs. Perhaps they are too busy counting the extra money they have got from the pay commission. The defence services got nothing to count , thanks to the IAS lobby who will not allow the group of ministers to do justice to the services.

Terrorism should be killed by Dil on 28 Nov 2008

This is terrible, All terrorists who are involved to this attack should be killed. Their roots should be extracted. Even in India or wherever, terrorism should be defeated and there must never be peace talks with terrorists. As Srilankans we say this, It should be extracted from roots...........

inept PM!!! by Ram on 28 Nov 2008

wewant leaders leading the nation not an economist taking directives from an italian gandhi and putting national security at risk. Security and sanctity of life is more important than economic growth. Manmohan singh is just an inept leader who seems to woken up from slumber after taking somany diktats from italian madam.

Support NSG with resources by Bharata on 28 Nov 2008

Kudos to NSG for doing their job without expecting even the basic of resources. The defence and home minister should be ashamed in not getting resources like an exclusive plane for these NSG crack team to reach the target area on time. Police should realise their ineptness and atleast clear traffic and open transport channels for NSG to arrive on time. Alas, the tv keeps talking ill of NSG being slow to arrive. When will these tv morons realise that it is NSG that finally fights and not the resource providers aka ministries, police and other babus.

Human rights of the terrorist by kaushal on 28 Nov 2008

One terrorist have been caught by Police. All human right activists ( Human right commission, Mahesh Bhatt, Tista, Shabana Azmi, Amar Singh, Mulayam, Laloo, Congresees etc) please make sure that his rights are better saved and served. He should be cared well in India. All facilities should be provided to him.

India needs a jolt... by Amal on 28 Nov 2008

We Indians have become addicted to the mentality "Take it for Granted" let it be for anything. We have taken terrorism for granted, greedy politicians for granted, corruption for granted. So on and so forth. What India needs is a people's movement to outcast that mentality and be awakened. Rationalism and Indian have now become antonyms. Unless people start thinking rationally we will still be arguing over such incidents for another 50 or more years to come...

Avoid racist comment by SANJAY on 28 Nov 2008

Now time has come that government and prime minister should ask resignation of Mr. L.K.Advani. It is well clear it is handiwork of BJP, RSS and VHP with army people like purohit to save malegaon terrorists. We must not point to any religion. Because we must see that Mumbai Police chief, who is a muslim Mr. Gafoor , Maharashtra DGP Mr. A.N.Roy who is christian has sent their men to fight terrorist. It is not necessary terrorists are essentially hindu there probability that they can be muslim but our officers still sent team to fight them and sacrificed their officers and fighters. Our defence minister is AK Antony who is christian , but he also supported this fight and asked army people to fight for the country and not for religion. Maharashtra chief scretary is Mr. Josef is also Christian he also remained worried. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi First lady of country is christian she also asked people to have patience and Our prime minister Dr. Singh is Sikh working hard against terrorism.

ATS for action against Hindus, gunned by the hardcore terrorists! A national shame by A Gokak on 28 Nov 2008

Feel sorry for the slum-dwelling ordinary Mumbai Sakharam cop lampooned by Bollywood, the brave man without basic equipment (sans the ubiquitous lathi), braving the bloodsucker politicians milking the city dry, as well as the murderous terrorists equipped to the teeth with the latest Western killer gizmos! As for the top cops in their cushy chairs, with purchased commissionarate postings, less said the better, learning to heel behind their HMVs! Btw, when 3 top shooter cops in their vintage jeep congregate to chalk out their out-of-the-hat plan for damage control profiled so well for the enemy army commandos posing as the mujahideen just like in Kargil, it reveals all about the alleged state-of-art Anti Terrorism Squad paraded by the puisillanimous state that can't distinguish between the patriots and hardcore terrorists! Finally, India will be saved through the intelligence and courage of the ordinary man and woman in the street fighting no matter what the outcome!

great india by ankur kumar on 28 Nov 2008

It is sad and unbearble to see the Taj building which is the heritage being burnt down. Please do something to stop the fire.Everything looks so slack and slow. Wake up Indians before the building collapses.

Our national security advisor is a joke by shyam pillai on 28 Nov 2008

Our national security advisory commitee is actually a joke ... or wait do we have one..we have blasts rocking the entire country and the advisor blabs about the Kashmir issue .Well done sir you definitely have intense understanding about the terrorist playing pinball in our country. We have been testing and imploding nukes in the desolate seas killing fish in this era of cold war when we should be improving the much needed internal security to cater to internal terrorism. Why do our defense advisors go to foreign countries and talk about fabulous fighter aircrafts don’t they see security cameras on streets in malls or railway stations taking note of any suspicious move Briton learned from its mistakes the US did the same when will we learn from ours .. Or is the vast population too big and dispensable at the expense of face less bureaucrats
