Several people have been killed in a series of coordinated attacks targeting Mumbai sites popular with tourists and business people, according to police and CNN’s sister network in India.
Ongoing battles between police and gunmen were reported at two five-star hotels.
Gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades attacked targets including the hotels, a cafe, and a train station, police say.
Maharashtra state government spokesman Bhushan Gagri said 78 people killed and about 200 wounded, while police confirmed 26 deaths.
Among the dead is the head of the Maharashtra state’s anti-terror squad, who apparently died in the violent aftermath of the attacks rather than being a target for the killers.
The attacks included five shootouts and two grenade attacks, said a police officer at Mumbai’s police control room.
Mumbai police spokesman Satish Katsa said gunmen have taken over the Taj Mahal Hotel and Hotel Oberoi, and were holding hostages on multiple floors.
Earlier, A.N. Roy, the police chief of Maharashtra state, said his force was still involved with suspected militants at the two five-star hotels.
IBN reported ongoing gun battles at both 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.
The attacks began about 2230 local time (1700 GMT) and more than two hours later witnesses were reporting new explosions and gunfire.
The targets include businesses frequented by international visitors in the city which is India’s financial center.
CNN correspondent Andrew Stevens said: “We are getting reports of ongoing incidents at the railway station and the Oberoi Hotel.
“We do not know if this has reached its peak or if more attacks to come.”
A local journalist told CNN he had seen evidence of an attack at the city’s domestic airport, which is on the outskirts of the Mumbai.
IBN reported explosions at a gas station and inside a taxi on a dockside road.
Attacks were reported at the Taj and Oberoi hotels, the popular Café Leopold, and Cama Hospital, and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station.
Professor, isnt this posted in the wrong area.
Are we now blaming terror attacts on right wing conservitives, I mean come on man, thats not right. The politics was one thing, but terror began way befor bush got in office, in fact, these countries have been fighting before BC.
I for one think this should not be posted here.
Fun is fun, and digs are digs, and we all have the right to dissagree, but putting this post in here is wrong and you know. I for one object and am very offended, pissed is more like it and GAM, you can bitch about me being an asshole all you want but you know this is not the place for that post too.
That is messed Professor and I think you should be fair and honest to EVERYONE in here, not just conservitives and move it to another area,
and NO, i aint gonna spell check this.
I think it’s the right area since there isn’t a current events thread.
Clearly your problem is the subtitle of the this Forum, which leads people to assume that anything posted here is the fault of right wingers.
It’s time to remove the subtitle since it’s been offending a lot of the participants:
Discuss how we can rid the US of Republican Right Wing Extremists that are destroying OUR country.
Replace with:
Discuss how Extremists are destroying society.or better yet
Politics and the News?Thank you for mentioning that.
I like this one you mentioned Discuss how Extremists are destroying society.
I think it is the extremists of all party’s and religions and/or non religions that are ruining the world.
Nothing is so important that it demands taking another or ones own life.

Are you still bitchin about the title of this forum? The election is over dude and your guy lost so get over it! :roflmao:
Please provide me with a list of what I’m NOT ALLOWED to post so that I know for future reference ok? Or better yet how about I PM them to you first for your review and approval? Would that make you feel better? :sarcasm:
BTW when did I ever call you an asshole? I don’t think I’ve ever used that word online towards ANYONE before, but if the shoe fit then put the sucker on!

Do you tell the administrator of each forum that you visit what the title of their sub-forums should read? This reminds me of why I’m glad the republicans are no longer in control! They feel they have the right to DICTATE to everyone and complain about things that don’t go their way.
gamtrack first of all Amcan never was a fan of republicans. Secondly he made a recommendation on what in his opinion would be best for the forum. I agree with him. I think you need to relax and realize there’s not an ulterior motive to every post.
I did not pick the title of the forum. What is the problem? My post or the title of the forum?
I have a right to express my opinion when someone calls me out. Like I said, if the Professor wants to change the title then cool, but don’t call me out for crap.

you did call me and ‘stupid’ idiots at some point. but hey, that doesn’t offend me
and since i’m in robocop mode, i dont like this thread’s title. “in indian city” is a silly way of naming things since if you say Mumbai, everyone will already be able to figure out that its in india.
you would say that “an american city” got bombed, now would you? instead you’ld probably name the city straight away. and considering the fact that india has over 1 billion people and mumbai has population of 12 mil people, its hardly just “an indian city”.
i suspect that it was just a cnn title and not your fault though. fucking morons humiliating their viewers.
Well i’m sorry to chime in GamTrak, but you seem to grow increasingly aggressive and nasty, for no apparent reason.
When a bunch of people you hang out with tell you the same thing maybe it’s time to take it heart. Frankly since the election you’ve helped to define the idea of a “Sore Winner” and if you don’t nicen up a bit the rest of us aren’t going to play with you anymore.
If you want to keep throwing bombs at everyone who tells you to back off, we can just stop using the forum or just talk around you. I’d much rather you tone it down a bit, stay and share your opinions with less anger and meaness. You have lot’s of ideas, energy and passion, but i’m tired of living in a Rush Limbaugh world where anyone who disagree’s with him is suddenly Joe Stalin reborn.
Gam, dont worry about it. I will leave this thread and CAP alone. I going where some of the former posters of CAP now go.
They are a little more nice over there.

Sorry about that. I must have been having a bad day.
