At least 132 people were killed and more than 300 people were injured in attacks by gunmen in India's commercial hub Mumbai.
It all start on Tuesday eve at around 9.30 when small groups of gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades attacked the various parts of Mumbai, including Taj, Oberois and Narmian House amongst others.Even though major attacks were carried out in sothern part of Mumbai, there were few place in the north mumbai were huge blast occurred. one of the blast took place just one kilometer away from were i stay. the blast was so huge that the i could hear the blast sound even from that distance.The cab in which the blast took place was totally decimated.
It more than 36 hour now, and situation still doesn't seems to be totally under control. the NSG commandos are trying to flush out any more terrorists hiding inside the two hotels and Nariman house.
I have been glued to the news channels from the time since this incidents took place,and looking at the events which are unfolding it can be said that this was a well co-ordinated, better planned attack targeting the countries economy.
It's not often that things in terrorism alarm me. So much is a repeat of what we see almost every day, like suicide bombings. There's no real innovation in terrorism, which is why 9/11 was so terrifying, because it was so innovative and heinously clever.
But these attacks show how a handful of men, basically using weapons off the shelf, can paralyze a city and frustrate highly trained security forces. These attacks were calculated to spread alarm and anxiety - to put it quite frankly, to unhinge things - and that's exactly what they've done.
