| Terrorist Attack in Mumbai, India targeting U.S., British Passport Holders, 78 dead
Quote:
Maharashtra state government spokesman Bhushan Gagri said 78 people killed and about 200 wounded, while police confirmed 26 deaths.
The attacks included five shootouts and two grenade attacks, said a police officer who answered Mumbai's police control room line.
IBN reported ongoing gun battles at the Oberoi Hotel and the Taj Mahal Hotel -- both five-star hotels.
At least two explosions were reported at the Taj.
One witness told local reporters gunmen had tried to find people with U.S. or British passports.
IBN, quoting police sources, reported hostages were taken at the two hotels although Gagri told CNN he did not know about any hostages.

| I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the perpetrators aren't affiliated with any Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, or Sikh groups.
If I'm wrong, I'll happily admit it.

Should be plenty of room to stretch. Tickets probably got a whole lot cheaper too.

| Now they are saying over 160 dead and over 300 hurt. It seems to me part of this was attempt to wreck havoc on the financial community in India, just going by the targets they are hitting. | |

| I will anxiously await the "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" crowd's attempt to justify this barbarity.
I'm sure there are some idiots at Kos or HuffPo who are engaging in their typical "blame America" blather.
