The only news at the moment on Sky News and the BBC is the Mumbai Terrorist Attack Crisis.
"Ten simultaneous terrorist attacks occurred across Mumbai, India's financial capital and largest city, on 26 November 2008. The main targets of the attack appeared to be Americans, Britons and Jews, but most of the causalities were locals and foreign tourists caught in the gunfire. At least 125 people, including at least six foreign nationals, have been confirmed dead, and at least 327 have been injured. All except one of the attacks took place in South Mumbai; at the crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station; at two five-star hotels: the Oberoi Trident at Nariman Point, and Taj Mahal Palace & Tower near the Gateway of India; at the Leopold Café, a popular tourist restaurant in Colaba; at the Cama Hospital; and at the police headquarters where at least three high-level officers, including chief of the Anti Terrorism Squad of Maharashtra, were killed by gunfire. Between fifty and sixty terrorists took part."
This disaster is unfolding even as we speak with hundreds still trapped in the two hotels and over 40 people still being held hostage.
Only 9 out of the reported 50-60 involved have been killed/captured.
Your views? How do you think India will respond? How long will it take for India to recover?
