Havoc in mumbai

by Sana Saleem on November 27, 2008

Series of co-ordinated attacks shake mumbai as over 80 people have been reported dead. More than 250 injured as the attacks carry on targeting hotels and trans stations.


At least seven high-profile locations were hit in India’s financial capital, including two luxury hotels where hostages are reported to be held.

A fire has destroyed part of the Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai’s most famous hotel, which is now ringed by troops.

Police said four suspected terrorists have been killed and nine arrested.

A claim of responsibility has been made by a previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen.

Our correspondent says it could be a hoax or assumed name for another group.

The motive is far from clear - but the attacks come amid elections in several Indian states, including in disputed Kashmir.

The recent conditions in mumbai can be pretty well understood by the normal people in Pakistan. Its almost obvious how we can relate to the indians at the moment. Although this might later transform into a blame game between the two nations but at the end of the day its the people who continue to be victimized. It is an extremely tragic for the people of india and as a neighbouring country we not only sympathise with the people but also support those putting a brave front in the current circumstances. It is really important that during this time we continue to hope for peace and strive against those who continue to spread havoc on both sides of the border.
