The standoff against the gunmen has ended, and now Indian troops are picking up the pieces and assessing the damage done. The count of those killed during the terrorist siege reaches near 200 as of right now, with close to 300 additional people wounded by the attacks. The group responcible is a previously unheard of Muslim group called Deccan Mujahideen who are being linked to Pakistan via the sole surviving gunman. It is thought that the attack was an effort to derail talks between rival countries India and Pakistan. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani denies that the terrorists came from his country, but is sending an intelligence official to help with the investigation.
It is unknown what the U.S. will be doing in response to the attacks that saw the death of foreign civilians including British and U.S. citizens who were reportedly being targetted specifically by the gunmen for hostages. President Elect Barack Obama is currently being briefed on the matter and released the following statement: “These terrorists who targeted innocent civilians will not defeat India’s great democracy, nor shake the will of a global coalition to defeat them.”

Some of those survivors were trapped in their rooms for up to 36 hours. I never travel anywhere without a few powerbars in my luggage. Seriously. Anything can happen anywhere.
what a terrible tragedy. I freaking hate those militant *&^%$rs!
It’s so ridiculous, and thank G-d for the nanny who waved the baby of Rabbi Gavriel and Rivkah Holtzberg. I’m just heartbroken over the whole issue.
What a surprise that they were searching for US and UK citizens(fugn haters). Those guys were total dirtbags and I just hope they get all the inside info from the uneducated patsy they’ve caught.
The people there had insane stories of (Thank God) hiding out in their rooms. However, many escaped. That’s why while traveling it’s good to know where the nearest US embassy is and have an action plan.
Scary. Terrorists Suck.
An a separate note, how do you believe the Black Cats of the Indian Military performed. It’s a tough situation. They caught one guy and saved some hostages.
