Armed with AK-47 rifles and grenades, a couple of terrorists entered the passenger hall of CST and opened fire and threw grenades, Mumbai General Railway Police Commissioner A K Sharma said.
The terror strike which began at 10:33 PM at Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus(CST), formerly known as the Victoria Terminus(VT), claimed 10 lives in the premises of the station alone, police said.
Three persons were killed in a bomb explosion in a taxi on Mazegaon dockyard road and an equal number were gunned down at Taj Hotel. The victims in the hotel were its employees.
The lobby of the Oberoi hotel was on fire and the hotel evacuated, eyewitnesses said.
Maharashtra DGP A N Roy said tonight’s attack in “at least seven places” is a “terror strike.”
Sharma said 30 persons were injured in the CST incident. Commandoes were rushed to the CST which wore a deserted look and train services suspended.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh is cutting his Kerala visit and returning to Mumbai. He described the situation in Mumbai as “very serious”.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has condemned terror attacks in Mumbai and assured Maharashtra government of all assistance.
The NSG commandos were on standby and national disaster response force unit is being rushed to Mumbai, the Ministry of Home Affairs officials said.
Some people were injured in the firing in Oberoi hotel, and taken to a nearby hospital in police vans and ambulance. Firing was also reported in Taj hotel.

According to the experts, this is a highly organized attack that took months to prepare. Yeah, right. Flying 2 airplanes into a building is highly organized. Taking guns and grenades into a few hotels compares to that, sure. Gee, will this draw American forces into the region? Of course not! Its one thing to see Americans being robbed blind by the federal reserve, its quite another to see these innocent people dying for no other reason than to provide justification for continued American occupation and involvement in this area of the world.

This attack is Radical Islam. They are trying to take over India. India is a large country, they have an army, weapons, world recognition, AND INDIA NEVER CLOSED THEIR BORDERS TO NEW IMMIGRANTS–RADICAL ISLAM, ETC. Radical Islam is also trying to take over England, France, Australia, and the United States. It starts with mass immigration to these democratic countries. Then in the name of Democracy, they ask for Mosques to be set up as a base for launching terrorist attacks. It is already happening in the States. Any day these types of attacks can happen here. Start seeing the big picture.
Go on youtube and watch the trailor for “the third jihad”–and open your eyes.

This is the Jewish version of world events “This attack is Radical Islam. They are trying to take over India.

We call all learn things by posts like this ,it’s the Jewish version of events in the world like it’s not constantly bombarded down our throats everyday ,I’m done with the lies!!

You all need to wake up. Do you think that Radical Islamist Jihadists care if you are a lefty? a progressive? and that you are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause? These people are looking at passports. If you have an American, or Brittish passport–you’re done. Period. You should learn from the Israeli experience with terror–Jihad–and Radical Islam. These are not lies. These are today’s realities—in India, in Spain, in England, in France, in Italy, in Australia, and in the U.S. You should get behind your government, which is flawed, but trying to deal with these very complex and dangerous issues. Wake up. Look who is moving into your neighborhoods.

you guys swear you know what is “really” going on, with disinformation warnings, etc. you sound like a bunch of paranoid idiots who dont have adequate information, and actually don’t have a grasp on reality. you need to get out of this conspiracy theory haze. look at other people’s opinions, learn from them, and come back to earth.

One single act of butchery by the scum of the Earth, the US armed forces, murders and wounds more Humans in Afghanistan than the entirety of this event in Mumbai. Every day, US garbage in uniform carry out thousands of acts of butchery, in Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, openly, and in dozens of other countries covertly. And never forget, even on sites like this, the vast majority of americans are depraved and evil enough to support the scum that wear their uniform.
War, and the uniformed machineries of war that we call armies, constitute the only planet threatening evil. Of course, americans support the ever expanding nature of their armed forces, and by extension, the genocidal wars these animals must fight to justify their own existence. Anti-war means anti-soldier. Anti-war means anti militarism in any and all forms. Anti-war does not mean pacificism, ironically, since those that mass murder with such free abandon won’t give up their depravities without a fight.
Remember, a Human in military uniform is a criminal too cowardly to carry out their crimes under a system of ordinary criminal justice. A Human in military uniform wants to rape, torture, and mass murder knowing they have automatic immunity protecting them from rightful punishment. On the other hand, an ordinary criminal knows that a massive system exists to hunt him/her down every time they act illegally, and are prepared to suffer punishment as a price for their chosen actions.

I’m what some call a ‘Wahhabist’ Muslim because I try to stick to the basic teachings of Islam. I’ve been to hundreds of mosques.
Despite what u have been conditioned to believe, I’d say nearly all mosques in the WORLD contain religious worshippers coming to make prayers and read Quran, NOT plan a terrorist attack.
No doubt their does exist some extremists of various kinds, but they are usu. secretive + sneaky (i.e. they have something evil to HIDE from even other Muslims) and don’t proclaim their plans openly. Even roots of terrorism which crept into the Muslims are from OUTSIDE of Islam & Unislamic – check out: http://www.islamagainstextremism.com/
To the one who said, “look who’s moving into your neighbourhood” – chances are if a fundamentalist looking Muslim moved into the neighbourhood – you’d more likely be dealing with a helpful, kind, honest citizen who if you approached with some problem would probably do their best to help you. But always have reasonable caution with them like you would with ANYONE – whether they look like u or not.
The issue in Israel for many is an issue of revenge and land, which was in fact stolen and Jews in fact commit horrible atrocities on the Muslims daily, although sadly Muslims commit atrocities as well, I really do think they are in many cases extremely provoked by the Jews and injustice helps to breed more injustice – although it’s WRONG in any case and I don’t support unjust attacks on Jews ESPECIALLY attacks on non-combatants, women, children, etc… (what did THEY do?) These terrorists have serious flaws in their understanding of Islam and a huge number of Muslims feel the same way (oppose terrorism). But for many Muslims in Palestine/Israel ignorance + revenge + being severely oppresed and ‘demonized’ in the media = clouds their judgment. I even think that because they take most of their news from Jewish controlled orgs. some can even start to believe it and “fall into their role” that’s been neatly created for them. And there’s evidence that HAMAS was deliberately propped up and supported by Jews in order to provoke + legitimize retaliation. I ask Allah to guide the ignorant Muslims in Palestine and in Indo-Pak and all over and to help them live and succeed the right way. I also ask him to let me clearly explain Islam to benefit myself, Muslims and non-Muslims.

Could this be retaliation for India sinking the Somali pirate ship? Possibly, but more importantly it was coordinated by someone with at least a little intelligence. The fact that they attacked the financial district is not coincidence. The fact that they are after US and Brits is obvious. The extremists, from any religion will always have armed opposition, and thus the conflicts will never cease. The fact that they attacked soft targets proves that they are cowards. They will be slaughtered on the battlefields of this Earth because the good people of the Earth, whatever their religion, knows what is truly right and wrong and has truth on their side. Everyone with a conscious knows that innocent people being murdered is wrong. Gentlemen, we must keep our weapons ready to kill any f---er that tries to jam their beliefs down our throat. We as humans have an obligation to fight evil, in any form. Although I pray for peace, I know some f---ers don’t get it and that’s why guns were invented. Good always prevails over evil. Murdering innocent people is evil.
