BURNING ISSUES
The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a
series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across
Mumbai, India's financial capital and its largest
city. The attacks, carried out by a Pakistan-based
terrorist group using automatic weapons and
grenades, began on 26 November 2008 and
ended on 29 November 2008. At least 172
people were killed and at least 300 were injured
in the attacks.
Eight of the attacks occurred in South
Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the
Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower,
Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Orthodox
Jewish-owned Nariman House, the Metro
Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India
building behind St. Xavier's College. There was
also an explosion at the Mazagaon docks in
Mumbai's port area, and a taxi blast at Vile
Parle.
HOW THEY COME

The attackers traveled by sea


from Karachi, Pakistan, across the Arabian
Sea to Mumbai. They entered via speed
boats that were on board trawlers. The
trawlers left Pakistan and stopped at
Porbandar, India, before landing in Mumbai.

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.
THE TAJ ATTACK

After 60-houres rampage, the Tajwent up in


flames as terrorists bombed the hotel and world
watched it all live. Explosions and gunshots
resounded from Taj Mahal Hotel
While the terrorists held people as hostage.

Two terrorists held fifteen hostages,


including seven foreigners, in the Taj Mahal
hotel. A rescue team of 200 commandos flew
into Mumbai from New Delhi to take charge of
the Situation. Reported at 23:00 that the hostage
situation at the Taj had been resolved and quoted
the police chief of Maharashtra state as saying
that all hostages were freed.
THE CST ATTACK

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus was


attacked by two terrorists, one of whom,
Ajmal Amir Kasab was later caught alive by
the police. The attacks began here around
21:00 when two terrorists armed with AK-
47 rifles entered the passenger hall, opened
fire and threw grenades, killing at least ten
people.

An exploded bomb was found in red &


black at CST & and another was exploded
Ismail and Kasab are two terrorist starting
firing at 9.00 pm.
Attacker

Mohammad Ajmal Amir Iman, belonging to


the Kasab or butcher community, is a Pakistani
terrorist involved in the November 2008
Mumbai attacks. Ajmal Amir is the only terrorist
captured alive by police and is currently in
Indian custody. The Government of Pakistan
initially denied that Ajmal was from Pakistan,
but in January 2009, it officially accepted that
Ajmal Amir Kasab was a Pakistani citizen.
NARIMAN HOUSE

Nariman House, a Chabad Lubavitch Jewish


center in Colaba known as the Mumbai
Chabad House, was taken over by two
terrorists and several residents were held
hostage. The house was stormed by NSG
commandos and, after a long battle, the two
terrorists were killed. However, Rabbi Gavriel
Holtzberg and his wife Rivkah Holtzberg (who
was six months pregnant) were murdered with
other hostages inside the house by the
terrorists. According to one report, Nariman
House, not the Taj Mahal Hotel, was the prime
target on November 26 and The Mumbai
crime branch, which is investigating the terror
attacks, has found that the terrorists' handlers
in Pakistan were clear this operation should
not fail under any circumstances. The rest of
the operations - at the Taj, Oberoi and
Chhattrapati Shivaji Terminus - were intended
to amplify the effect.
