40 Held Hostage in Mumbai Terror Attack

DEVELOPING: At least 40 people are reportedly being held hostage in Mumbai, India, by gunmen who targeted luxury hotels, a popular tourist attraction and a crowded train station in at least seven attacks that killed at least 78 in the nation's financial capital, police and witnesses said.

Eyewitnesses said the terrorists appeared to be targeting Americans and the British.

Re: 40 Held Hostage in Mumbai Terror Attack

Apparently they were targeting westerners specifically

Source [CNN | Scores Killed in Mumbai Rampage]

One witness told local reporters that gunmen tried to find people with U.S. or British passports and took about 15 of them hostage.

Andrew Stevens, a CNN anchor who was staying at the Taj with a CNN crew, estimated about half the hotel's guests were Westerners

Does anybody know who is doing this or why?

It's all over the news.

Personally I would never vacation in the Middle East-India and do wonder why anyone would, I'm not justifying anything--just stating on how I felt before this event.

Dimeed Mujahideen or somehting like that has taken credit

"Deccan Mujahideen" may be a front name for the terrorist organization. It is plausible that a Kashmiri Islamist group e.g., Lashkar-e-Taiba, might have been involved. That terrorist group is anti-India and anti-Western. It may have some ties to Al Qaeda.

Lashkar-e-Taiba / Lashkar-e-Tayyiba

My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of the terrorist attacks.
 
Mambia; Scores are killed and several hostages taken in attacks on India's financial center. Americans and Brits targeted.

Whatever. :roll:
I seriously doubt anyone feels "attacked", with the possible exception of the Muslims on the forum; and certainly not by me.
If Tucker Case had posted what I did, you'd've thanked him and tried to jump on his bandwagon by making some dumb joke yourself.
 
I blame the Republicans for this--largely because:

1) you know damn well they'd be blaming Obama if they could, and
2) world terrorism has tripled under their watch.

You never help things by blaming a large group of "INDIVIDUALS" who really have nothing to do with this kind of crap.

Just stop with the "OMG Rep's this!" "Blame the cons for that!" attitude, and start contributing to humanity as a whole. Good god dude!

You linking absolutely everything to Islam is ****ing annoying.

Have you thought this occured due to political shifts within India and that region? No? Or did you read India and assume it happened because Islam ordered it on people not dream that a few sick individuals done this.

You know what, how about i start posting every killing that occurs in the western world and blame it on Christianity and Judaism
Hey, you know what. A father raped his two daughters and got them pregnant 19 times over a number of years. What religion do you think i should lay the blame at? :doh
