BREAKING: Dozens dead in India terrorist attack

[DavidS]

Gunmen attack targets in Indian city - CNN.com

It's all over TV right now... one report has up to 80 people dead. They stormed into hotels and demanded to know where the Westerners were. Automatic weapons, grenades, even reports of hostages.

Wow. 7-9 hotels taken and separate attacks on Anti-terror commander.

Did Bush tell you that?

Did Bush tell you that?

Hardly, he's of the color code group. It's the war that wasn't, ijit.

True. It was a statement, not an attack.

Were members of the 'Religion of Peace' responsible?

Were members of the 'Religion of Peace' responsible?

Yes, once again there is yet another terrorist attack killing innocent people by Muslims.

all hell is breaking loose and they are taking hostages....pray to whatever god you have for these people.....

 

[strollingbones]

now will this be approached as an internal problem for india or will other countries send in help...i feel so much for the hostages....may the fates and muses be kind

 

[strollingbones]

apparently they are looking for brits and any westerners...more hotels are coming under attack..it is rather confusing watching the news....but it does appear to be a large operation...

 

[Tech_Esq]

A Brit that escaped from the Oberoi Hotel said that there were 15 terrorists just in the Oberoi.

There are apparently 3 members of the Indian Parliament trapped in the Taj.

 

[strollingbones]

cnn just said westerns were hostages....i am not sure which hotel.

 

[strollingbones]

both hotels and there gunmen on the roof...reports of another hotel in another part of the city

 

[Tech_Esq]

I am watching the news live and the attackers have NOT been identified.

An operation of this size and scale is al Qaeda until it is shown that it isn't.

 

[strollingbones]

india has a long history of problems between the muslims and hindus...sunni do you really think this is not muslims, islamics or what ever you want to call them....

look people are we looking into our future...

 

[Sunni Man]

Muslims are treated as second class citizens in India.

So it wouldn't surprise me if they were involved.

7 hotels were targeted including:

The Ramada, The Sheraton, The Taj Majal and the Oberoi. Commandos are attacking the Oberoi now and a loud explosion has been reported after the commandos went in.
