Gunmen were reported to be holding westerners hostage at the Taj Mahal.

The other hotel targeted was the Oberoi.

One witness told local television that the gunmen were looking for people with British or US passports.

"They wanted foreigners," said the man, who said he was in India on business.

Aye, this appears to be highly organised as well.

Wonder what the military response will be

Counterterrorism Blog points the finger at LeT and a native Islamic student group.

..hotel attackers demanded American hostages among the guests, specifically.

Top anti-terrorist cops have been wounded or killed. The army and navy have been put on alert to help the overwhelmed local cops and national anti-terrorist troops are moving in.

Heartbreaking...Indian news is showing the city's top anti-terror squad cop gearing up to go in. Minutes later he was dead. All too reminiscent of the photos of NYC cops and firefighters going to their duty and save others only to be killed by sub-human terrorists.

India is one of those countries you don't tend to hear about on the news.

Why can't it just stay that way?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

One of the hotels where the shootings have been taken place in, is one that I have stayed in a few times, which is a tiny bit unerving. I wouldnt worry about your cousin mate, 99% of the time India is a fine place to be.

Was martial law declared yet or no?

It scares me even more thinking something like this could happen in NYC. Load of people around...a coordinated attack could leave hundreds dead.

It is most likely a front though.

Times of India now says more than 900 have been injured.

A google map is already available if you want to see how spread out the attacks were.

“They were very young, like boys really, wearing jeans and T-shirts,” Rakesh Patel, a stunned British guest at the Taj, told an Indian television channel. He said he had been among about a dozen foreigners who had been herded together by two heavily armed men and taken up to the hotel’s upper floors.

“They said they wanted anyone with British and American passports and then they took us up the stairs. I think they wanted to take us to the roof,” he said. He and another hostage had managed to escape when they reached the 18th floor, he said.
