Mumbai: After battling the terrorists for two days at the Oberoi-Trident, the National Security Guards on Friday cleared the hotel of militants, killing two of them while six bodies were recovered from the premises.

"The Oberoi-Trident is now in under our control. The two terrorists holed up there have been killed," NSG Director General J K Dutt said outside the hotel in South Mumbai.

Six bodies were also recovered from the hotel, he said.

The NSG has recovered two AK-47 assault rifles, one pistol and grenades, some unexploded, from the terrorists, he said, adding the explosives will now be defused.

"We are presently sanitising every room to make sure no undesirable elements are there and relief can be provided to guests there," Dutt said.

NSG secures Nariman House, terrorists killed

The National Security Guards stormed into the Nariman House and got full control of the building by killing the armed terrorists. However, the last of the militants holed up in Taj Mahal hotel kept crack commandos at bay engaging them in a fierce gunbattle.

"Five hostages were killed by the terrorists. First floor of the Nariman House is yet to be cleared," NSG DG J K Dutta said.

It is high time we learnt to distinguish between terrorism and a war in disguise. The correct response to the Mumbai attack is certainly not to raise our accusing fingers against a nation or two and sit back with brazen ease of willing suspension of disbelief. The aptest response to this would be to raise a central force having its own elaborate intelligence wing strictly meant for defending few most important cities, establishments and installations besides waging a full scale diplomatic war against the nation behind such dastardly cold blooded attacks against us. This central force would be responsible for thwarting any attack or threat to the peace of these cities either from outside or form inside. This might prove great step towards ensuring not only the nation’s security but also it’s integrity.

Why are people complaining for ?? They have brought this upon themselves. Go and elect some filmy or some phirangi ( as Indians are too fascinated by white skinned people as seen in their bollywood movies too who are dancing and prancing around semi nude) as your elected minister. If you stop discriminationg people on grounds of caste, religion , skin colour , India probably would have been a strong nation.

It is so digusting to see this kind of attack on us.. from some mere kids of a pathetic, deprived, undeveloped, barbaric country.. Pakistan!!! We have the richest people in the world, the robust economy, largest population, the most intelligent human resource...but why r we soo helpless!!! We have everything ..but not a LEADER!! High time we ban this congress party .. at least in BJP rule we may just have to deal with some Hindutva fanatics from inside but noone will dare to attack us like this from outside!!!

Kudos NSG, Kudos Indian Army. You silently do your job and expect nothing in return.

» Raj thackery..the rogue
Posted by Cash on 2008-11-28 22:59:16.824903+05:30
The reason why Raj Thakery maybe keeping quiet, perhaps these terrorists could be one of his peoples. Or he is woefully afraid. Raj can only oppress the poor and the downtrodden who could not even fight with a wodden stick. Raj thackery is not only a coward, but also a double tongued rogue who has nothing but propaganda to further his popularity which is declining from the educated masses. Worse is when this coward could not even give a statement, leave alone fighting..such is Raj thackeray
