Massive terror strike in Mumbai kills over 100, injures over 300
Terrorism Correspondent
Mumbai was woken up by a massive terror strike where terrorists struck simultaneously at 10 different locations. The terrorists used grenades, bombs and automatic weapons. It was a planned strike and almost all counter tactics by Mumbai police were taken into account. Incidently this incident comes just 16 days after Khwaja Hasan Gafoor was appointed as Commissioner, an appointment which was being hailed by Congress since he is a Muslim. Over 200 commandos and army personnel have been rushed to counter this, which is the largest every deployment of its kind. Over 100 people are reportedly dead, including many police officials. Gujarat Police had warned Mumbai about 50 terrorists entering Mumbai but the Chief Minsiter Vilasrao Deshmukh was holidaying in Kerala.
Over 26 locations were targeted. Terrorists are holding several hostages at CST Station, The Oberoi and Taj Mahal Hotel. First strike took place at around 10:30pm at CST. Over 10 people were killed on spot. There was also an explosion in Mazegaon dockyard road. Terrorists also attacked Colaba, Nariman Point, Cama Hospital, Vile Parle (East), Mantralaye, Napensea Road, Metro Cinema and Churchate.
There were over 5 bomb blasts at Taj and the roof of the hotel was on fire. Terrorists were also reportedly holding British and American nationals as hostages in The Oberoi. An eyewitness told that the terrorists were interested in using US and British citizens as hostages.
Narendra Modi also criticized government for undermining Army and calling Lt. Col. Purohit as Hindu terrorist.
Two terrorists were shot dead in Girgaum and reportedly two were apprehended.
The crybabies of Maharashtra, both versions of Shiv Sena, did not react to the blasts still the last reports came in.
