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.

Logical Solution with out bias by Arun on 28 Nov 2008

These terrorists should be dealt with out mercy irrespective of ther idealogy, religion or nationality. No reason can be justified for such a horrific action against humanity. For those justifying these actions or plotting revenge just shut your pie hole and apply logic with out bias.

Mumbai Attacks by Eric on 28 Nov 2008

I am here in Akron, Ohio USA. I keep looking for updates. It is so sad and unbelievable for this to happen in Mubai. I hope the Indian Govenment hunts the rest of this group down. After the bad train attacks that killed over 200 people in your country many of us here thought there would be a reaction by the Indian gov't and military and we really never heard anything again. I hope they find the rest, what I am sure are to be many, criminals that took part in planning this DISCUSTING attack on Mumbai!

We need another Mahatma Gandhi by Sanjay on 28 Nov 2008

Time has come we need one more Mahatma Gandhi who can teach us ahimsa to sole terrorism problem our politician must understand this war can not be fought with guns. Mr. Lalu Yadav has rightly said about mr. Rahul gandhi resemble mahatma gandhi. And country has lot of expectation from Mr. Rahul Gandhi who can be best heir apparent of Mahatma Gandhi.

National Integrity by SANJAY on 28 Nov 2008

We must not point to any religion. Because we must see that Mumbai Police head 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. Manmohan Singh is Sikh but he also said that government will make a plan to fight terrorism.

Resignation of Mr.L.K Advani by SANJAY on 27 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.

terrorism by madhan on 27 Nov 2008

We all should follow Mr. Mahesh batt on understanding on how the terrorists became terrorists, until unless this happens, there will be no solution and we should also follow our very best home minister who doesn't know a single thing like gay, but oppose it as if decriminalizing gay will corrupt our culture.

Terrorism a menace to humanity by Brenden Zothanpuia on 27 Nov 2008

I feel it is time for India and the World community to come together to combat the forces of terrorism and countries supporting it. Humanity will be at risk especially if they get hold on nuke weaponries. Life will never be the same.

TERRORISM by RAMESH PATEL on 27 Nov 2008

GAHDHI SAID ONCE "ONE DAY INDIA WILL SHOW A WAY TO THE WORLD", WHICH HAS APPEARANTLY NOT HAPPENED YET. THE REASON TO MENTION THIS IS INDIA DOES NOT WANT TO LEARN FROM OTHERS INSTEAD WAHTS TO TEACH THE WORLD WITH NO KNOWLEDGE. REMEMBER, AFTER 9/11, THERE IS NOT ONE ATTACK ON USA LAND, EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTRY BEING 3 TIMES BIGER THEN INDIA. THIS IS NOT AUTOMATIC. THIS IS BECAUSE OF THEIR GUTS, AND WAY, KNOWLEDGE OF TACKLING ANY ISSUE INCLUDING TERRORISM IN A SYSMETIC WAY. USA BELIEVES IN DEMOCRACY. SHE DOES NOT HAVE LAWS LIKE POTA IN INDIA. THERE ARE NO FAKE ENCOUNTERS TO KILL INNOCENTS, AND YET THERE ARE NO ATTACKS, TERRORISTS HAVE TO GO TO INDIA TO HUNT AMERICANS. WHAT A SENERIO! INDIA SHOULD ASK FOR HELP FROM US AND IN FUTURE GET TRAINING FROM THEM ALSO. BE WISE AND LEAVE THIS STUPIDITY INDIA.

TIME FOR HINDU MUSLIM TO UNITE by Dinesh on 27 Nov 2008

Part of the problem is that some of us think it is Muslims and some think it is Hindus and all those who have these strong feeling have no evidence. I think the majority of muslims do not support the terrorist. At the same time if one malegon incidence happened does not prove the same for Hindus. There are lot of good people on both sides and its the time we should join hands and respond together. The government should improve there ammunition and gadgets they are all out dated. I think we need to buy modern equipment. The government seems to be of no use, I do not understand why there is no unit of NSG in Mumbai, why they have to be brought from Delhi. This is rediculous, I mean if important cities like Mumbai needs external help in fighting 25 people then god bless us. The only way out is improvise your forces and ammunation.

UPA must stop Islamic appeasement, pampering,and reservation to muslims by Mrs Bhanumati on 27 Nov 2008

UPA government has been shiedling muslims by giving new invented logic that terrorism has no religion. There might be couple of stray instances of christian and hindu terrorism but it should not be generalised. Islamic terrorism is a glabal phenomena but UPA government is protecting it under the cover of secularism.The genesis of islamic terrorism lies in appeasement and pampering of islam in India since decades and centuries. We are sure UPA government will utilise this terrorist attacks to prepare justification to give more reservation to muslims.

we are cowards by dipsikha on 27 Nov 2008

We HINDU Indians are so coward, we are ruled by bunch of eunuchs lead by an ITALIAN SUPER LADY, we live in a country where only terrorists have got human rights, we have intellectuals like Sabana Azmi, Mahesh Bhatt, Arundhati Roy who regard speaking in favor of Islamic terrorists and opposing any Hindu movement as their sacred duty and status symbol .. we deserve it. They enter into our home and kill us and the best we can do it is to condemn it. Whole world may hate president Bush, but nothing has happened inside the USA after 9/11. Our leaders should learn things from Bush. But since we vote people like Amar Singh, Lallu-Mulayam, Padwan ,,, we deserve these.

Lesson learnt nothing...from the past... by Mruthula on 27 Nov 2008

Our Govt. has never learnt a lesson from the past experience. Whenever there is an attack, the next day all the airports, railway stations and other important places will have security forces. They will be available to the maximum of 5-7 days. Even during their duty, they will be sitting and chatting. No vigilance on people. Did Govt. learn any lesson from the past and take safety measures for the people atleast for the foreigners. No.. Our PM will only say, people you should be very careful and united... PM is fit for saying in TV but not in taking actions... So atleast media should enforce govt. to take some kind of implementation to find the terrorist activities and control the things..

Operations against terrorists in final stage: Maha DGP by Sastry on 27 Nov 2008

Manmohan Singh and his Congress government are so despicable that they do not have any regard for human life. All they think is that they can pay ex-gratia and get away. After so many terror attacks, government of any other country would have felt shame and guilt and would have either acted firmly against terror elements (without regard to vote banks) or resigned immediately. Unfortunately, Mr. Singh and his government do not possess such good qualities. Routine statements like we will crush terror will follow.Soon, all those secular folks and all the secular parties will come to the defense of any terrorists caught alive. The same folks and parties do not have any time for the innocents killed in the same attacks. Politicians like Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav will probably offer party tickets as well in the elections. It is naive to think this terror attack will be the last. Vote bank politics and terror attacks will continue.CONGRESS PARTY IS THE CURSE OF INDIA.

Mumbai attacks by Sunil on 27 Nov 2008

Congratulations to Indians and the so-called leaders of India on this VERY WELL DESERVED incident. I'm sure this will not be the jolt which will wake up the people of India from their deep secular slumber and within no time it will be business as usual and "sab chalta hai" attitude. Until the seeds of Nehru-Gandhi family are eliminated from the face of this earth, India will not be a free country and will have to suffer more and more of these indignities in future and deservedly so. Also, whoever says Islam is a peaceful religion is speaking from the other end and whoever believes that, for those I have Brooklyn bridge to sell.
