Coordinated Carnage in Mumbai; 80 Dead (Updated) By Noah Shachtman November 26, 2008 | 3:48:36 PMCategories: T is for Terror Something horrible is happening in Mumbai. 80 people are dead and 250 injured in a coordinated series of attacks on luxury hotels, train stations, and tourist attractions in India's financial capital. At least seven sites were struck, the Times of India reports. And the death toll could easily climb much higher. 60 lifeless bodies and over 200 injured people were brought to a single hospital, according to DNA Mumbai. "A little-known group, the Deccan Mujahideen, has claimed responsibility," the AP reports. The strikes "come after a series of blasts attributed to Islamist terrorists over the summer and autumn in other cities around India," the Wall Street Journal notes. Terrorists "armed with AK-47 rifles and grenades" stormed the "passenger hall" of Mumbai's Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus (CST) train station. They "and opened fire and threw grenades," according to Mumbai General Railway Police Commissioner A. K. Sharma. 30 people were injured. "Firing was also reported at Cama Hospital in south Mumbai, police said, adding that a blast was reported in a taxi under a flyover in suburban Vile Parle," the paper says. "Three persons were killed in a bomb explosion in a taxi on Mazegaon dockyard road and an equal number were gunned down at [the] Taj Hotel." "Bellboys could be seen rushing the injured out on luggage trolleys," according to DNA Mumbai. The victims "included three senior police officers, including the head of [the state's] anti-terror squad," the Wall Street Journal reports. More bloodshed could come from the Taj attack. The gun-toting terrorists who hit the landmark hotel also took 15 people, half of them foreigners, hostage on the roof of the luxury Taj Hotel, an escaped hostage tells the Times of India. The attackers, men in their early 20's, honed in on "anyone with British or American passports," an eyewitness said. Survivors of the attack on the Oberoi hotel told a similar story. A British restaurant-goer tells Sky News television that "the attackers were singling out Britons and Americans." Alex Chamberlain said a gunman, a young man of 22 or 23, ushered 30 or 40 people from the restaurant into a stairway and ordered everyone to put up their hands. "They were talking about British and Americans specifically. There was an Italian guy, who, you know, they said: 'Where are you from?" and he said he's from Italy and they said 'fine' and they left him alone. And I thought: 'Fine, they're going to shoot me if they ask me anything - and thank God they didn't," he said. [Photo: Reuters] StumbleShareThis

A friend of mine who works for DHSecurity told me hours ago that an serious alert was out for transportation centers in NY and other major cities in the US. He said he "was not" going to NYC this weekend.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Why does this stuff never happen to the elite? Does everybody love them? Terrorism my ass.
God is always good!
Singling out Americans and the British: I wonder if this might have something to do with Britain and the U.S. being the instigators of the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq on behalf of the illegal Israeli state.
Yeh , I wonder..... But the MSM never mentions it so I guess not.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" A Post on RumorMills: DECCAN MUJ, TURKEY DAY TRAUMA DRAMA, WAR PREP FOR USA Posted By: PRAVDASEEKER Date: Thursday, 27 November 2008, 10:08 a.m. Dear RMN Readers, Agents, 125 dead so far... 3 Americans among the injured, no Americans known among the dead as of yet.. Still have hostage situations ongoing.. Again "odd" timing... all day trauma drama...on TV.. Just think of the entertainment, flip from Macy's parade to the fires and smoke in Mumbai, to the few football games...ALL when all of America will be watching the tube...mostly for football..but the news will be seen too.. Already mentioning al-cia-duh.. ALREADY mentioning the nation I mentioned in Post below... THEY came from PAKISTAN VIA BOAT... And as I said this is all "prep" for the incoming administration, in my opinion of course... see the below snip and link. SNIP At the same time, U.S. and Indian officials see Pakistan as the root cause of the Taliban problem in Afghanistan, prompting hard questions in both countries on how to save it from a Taliban takeover. Security experts now confirm the potential root of defeat of NATO forces in Afghanistan by the Taliban may rest with Pakistan. Such talk has given rise to the role of containing Pakistan, even proposing its breakup. The discussions have emerged in U.S. and Indian circles, given Pakistan's efforts for years to instigate Islamic violence in India. Pakistan regards India as an interloper in Afghanistan, which Pakistan regards as being in its sphere of influence. One of the biggest fears of the Pakistani military planners is the collaboration between India and Afghanistan to destroy Pakistan, according to a senor Pakistani government official. "Some people feel the United States is colluding in this." END SNIP LINK: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=82047 Just to explain a little about this NEW name, to us anyhow, the DECCAN Muj... I "presume" they take their name from the Deccan Plateau which is the central triangular area of India..just go inland from all of Indias shoreline about 100 miles and draw a line across the top... "that" entire central region is the Deccan Plateau. Hindu and Muslim conflict in this region of India date clear back to the 1300's!!!! Talking heads on CNN are now saying it is a cover name, and undoubtedly has roots in Pakistan, the attack was, or had elements of "Pakistani influence".. hmmmm Prepping the nation.. one Aussie reported now among the dead.. Already in WIKIPEDIA! Ha, it says what I did above! Honest, didnt look!! lol They say the name means Strugglers of the South http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Mujahideen http://rajeev2004.blogspot.com/ Some of the comments on the blog above from locals at terror scene area are "interesting"... if one can see through the trauma, the gore, the sadness.... you see reactions, and how the population is "pushed" in a certain direction towards war. ONE QUOTE Why would locals have some particular grudge against Americans and Brits? Sorry, but this sounds all too suspiciously like Al-Qaeda and ISI hardliners, such as the ones who blew up the Indian embassy in Afghanistan. END QUOTE India's 9-11... even more explosions being reported as I type this post.... AHHHH yes, now it comes out, possible US and British BANK EMPLOYEES among some of the remaining hostages??? Not confirmed as of yet... As I said in a post at STA earlier this morning... Maybe we will have USA hostages to be trauma drama'd with on Turkey day... Why are these terrible things so predictable?? How convenient. Pravdaseeker
