Terror attacks in Mumbai have killed more than 100 people. These attacks were well planned and probably had ‘external linkages.’ Targets for the terrorists were American and British citizens at various locations including hotels, train stations, and a Jewish center.

Black-clad Indian commandoes raided two luxury hotels to try to free hostages Thursday, and explosions and gunshots shook India’s financial capital a day after suspected Muslim militants attacked a number of sites.

Terrorists attack Mumbai, India

A British couple told broadcaster Sky News on Thursday how they had escaped the siege at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, after a highly coordinated attack by suspected Muslim militants.

Indian-Americans and others across America with connections to Mumbai were frantically trying to get in touch with loved ones and colleagues as they watched the scenes from the city under siege play out.
