Mumbai under attack
Late Wednesday night, Mumbai, India found itself the target of a ferocious
terrorist attack, and the situation remains unresolved even now, three days
later. According to reports, upwards of 60 young men entered Mumbai in small
inflatable boats on Wednesday night, carrying bags filled with weapons and
ammunition, and spread out to nine locations to begin their attacks. Lobbing
grenades and firing their weapons, they entered hotels, a railway station and
several other buildings, killing scores and wounding even more. As of this
moment, the identity of the attackers has yet to be definitively determined,
though there are reports indicating some of the gunmen were Pakistani - at
least nine of them have been killed, nine more arrested. As of this writing,
there were a reported 151 people killed from 11 different countries - though
nearly 100 were Indian. More than 300 injuries have also been reported - those
numbers may yet rise as several hostage situations still exist in the city. (35
