Mumbai Terror Attack: Landing of Terrorists

When 9/11 happened we all remember where we were. I had just come from my classes and was watching t.v. when i flipped through BBC and saw the greatest terror attack on U.S. soil unfold.

So where were you when the greatest terror attack on Indian soil (to date) took place?

I remember i was at home watching 9X when i turned to Aajtak Hindi. First it was reported the shootings were between 2 gangs. but then the reports came in fast that the shooting spree had spread to C.S.T. and even CAMA hospital.

Suddenly it was dawning that this wasnt some gang war but a terror attack!

I remember texting my friend "by god terror attack in progress" by 11 o'clock.





What had really happened:
A shipping trawler had been used by a group of 10 to 16 (reported) terrorists to come all the way from Karachi, Pakistan to Mumbai!

They had manages to evade the coast guard using fake ID cards! (read: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/PoliticsNation/Coast_Guard_let_off_Kuber_after_terrorists_gave_fake_I-cards/articleshow/3786023.cms)



The Indian fishing trawler Kuber whoes captain was killed. One of the hijacked ships's crew was made to cook food for the terrorists. After they had used his services, they unceremoniously slit his throat.
