• The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across
Mumbai, India's financial capital and its largest city. The attacks, carried out by Pakistani
terrorists using automatic weapons and grenades, began on 26 November 2008 and
ended on 29 November 2008.At least 173 people were killed and at least 308 were injured
in the attacks.
• Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai, at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi
Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-
owned Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building
behind St. Xavier's College. There was also an explosion at the Mazagaon docks in
Mumbai's port area, and a taxi blast at Vile Parle.
• By the early morning of 28 November, all sites except for the Taj Mahal Palace had been
secured by Mumbai Police and security forces. An action by India's National Security
Guards on 29 November resulted in the conclusion of the Taj Mahal Palace encounter,
ending all fighting in the attacks.
• Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only terrorist who was captured alive, disclosed that the attackers
were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Pakistan-based militant organization, considered a
terrorist organization by India, the United States, and the United Kingdom, among others.
The Indian Government said that the attackers came from Pakistan, and their controllers
were in Pakistan. The attacks drew widespread condemnation across the world.
 The terrorists had planned the attack several months ahead of time and knew
some areas well enough to "vanish" and reappear after security forces had left.
Several sources have quoted Kasab telling the police that the group received help
from local Mumbai residents.The terrorists used at least three SIM cards purchased
on the Indian side of the border with Bangladesh, pointing to some local
collusion.There are also reports of one SIM card purchased in New Jersey, USA.
Police have also mentioned that Faheem Ansari, an Indian Lashkar operative who
has been arrested in February 2008, has scouted the Mumbai targets for the
November attacks. Later, the police arrested two Indian suspects, Mikhtar Ahmad,
who is from Srinagar in Kashmir and Tausif Rehman, a resident of Kolkata. They
supplied the SIM cards, one in Calcutta, and the other in New Delhi.
 Blood tests on the terrorists indicate that they consumed cocaine and LSD during
the attacks, to sustain their energy and stay awake for 50 hours. Police says that
they found syringes on the scenes of the attacks. There were also indications that
they had been consuming steroids.
• The attackers travelled by sea
from Karachi, Pakistan, across the
Arabian Sea to Mumbai. They
entered via speed boats that were
on board trawlers. The trawlers left
Pakistan and stopped at
Porbandar, India, before landing in
Mumbai.
• The first events were detailed
around 20:00 IST on 26 November,
when 10 Urdu-speaking men in
inflatable speedboats came ashore
at two locations in Colaba. They
reportedly told local Marathi-
speaking fishermen to mind their
business before they split up and
headed two different ways; the
fishermen's subsequent report to
police received little response
• The Taj Hotel and the Oberoi Trident were the two hotels attacked, among the four
locations targeted. Two terrorists held fifteen hostages, including seven foreigners,
in the Taj Mahal hotel. A rescue team of 200 commandos flew into Mumbai from
New Delhi to take charge of the Situation.CNN reported at 23:00 that the hostage
situation at the Taj had been resolved and quoted the police chief of Maharashtra
state as saying that all hostages were freed; however, it was later learned that
there were still hostages in the hotel. Forty people were being held as hostages in
the Oberoi Trident hotel.Six blasts were reported to have taken place at the Taj
hotel and one at the Oberoi Trident. The Taj Mahal Hotel was reported to be
completely under government control at 04:22 and Indian commandos killed two
terrorists inside Oberoi hotel and took control of the building.
• Wasabi restaurant on the first floor of the Taj Hotel was completely gutted
• Both hotels were on fire and were surrounded by Rapid Action Force personnel and
MARCOS and NSG commandos. Reports emerged of terrorists receiving live feeds
broadcast by television stations; feeds to the hotels were subsequently blocked.
All terrorists were out of the Taj hotel, and police and firefighters were working to
rescue the estimated 50 people trapped inside. It was on 29/11 that the operation
Taj was completed successfully.
 The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus was attacked by two terrorists, one
of whom, Ajmal Amir Kasab was later caught alive by the police & the
other was killed to death by Mumbai police. The attacks began here
around 21:20, when two terrorists armed with AK-47 rifles entered the
passenger hall, opened fire and threw grenades, killing at least ten
people.
 There was helter and skelter running of the people which took place
after the first firing took place at C.S.T
 The incident at C.S.T was very terrifying and after the attacks the
station was all messed up with blood, bodies of the dead and the
injured people all over.
 The Chabad house was seized and attacked during the November 2008
Mumbai attacks. At around 9:45 pm local time on Wednesday, November
26, four terrorists took advantage of the fact that local security forces
were operating in several locations throughout the city. Newscasters were
calling it the "final assault", and the building is near the Leopold Cafe,
another building attacked during the strike. Initially it was reported that
six Israeli Jews were being held hostage, though that later jumped to
eight, with a Chabad spokesman in Israel, Moni Ender, saying there were
at least eight Israelis inside the house, including Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg
and his wife Rivka Holtzberg. The rabbi's two-year-old son escaped earlier
Thursday along with his nanny, Sandra Samuel, 44, who had worked as a
cook for the centre for the previous five years.
 It was reported that gunmen fired indiscriminately towards
the crowd. Initially, late Thursday evening, State officials in
India confirmed to the Associated Press that eight hostages
were released from the Chabad House. Later, the Israeli
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor disputed that, and
said the eight people seen near Chabad House were not
hostages, and that they were local Indians from a home in
the same compound, and not Jewish hostages. Early Friday
morning a large blast was heard at the centre, as fighting
continued even though other sources were reporting that the
building was under the control of the Indian security forces.
 During the siege, a US Chabad official, Rabbi Levi Shemtov,
talked with one of the terrorists, calling on Holtzberg's cell
phone. The FBI and other negotiation experts helped guide
him through the process which included around five phone
calls. Having to find an Urdu speaker to speak with him, they
were unable to directly speak to any of the hostages, but
Shemtov did say he heard the voice of one woman
screaming in English, "please help immediately."
 Shortly before dawn on Friday, Indian security forces
began an attack on the Chabad House which was
completed after sundown that evening. TV footage
showed troops abseiling from a helicopter into the
building, and soldiers on the ground closing in.Initially
it was reported five hostages[ were killed at the
Chabad House, then six on Friday, eight by Saturday
morning and the final number of six on Sunday, when
two missing Israelis made contact with the Israeli
Foreign Ministry. When the raid ended at sundown,
everyone inside the building was dead, including the
rabbi and his wife. According to ZAKA members, at
least one hostage (Rabbi Holtzberg) might have been
killed in the crossfire on Friday when the commandos
moved in. The others were killed by the terrorists;
some on Wednesday, some on Thursday. This claim of
ZAKA members was rejected by Israeli government
authorities as stories and irresponsible comments.
Some of the victims had been bound. The rabbi's wife
and Orpaz had been killed many hours before.
 A handout provided by Indian police identified the two
terrorists killed at Nariman House as a certain "Nasir"
alias Abu Umar, and "Babar Imran".
• Ten terrorists took part in the attacks,
nine of whom were subsequently shot
dead by security forces and one(Kasab)
was caught alive by the Mumbai police.
They looked young, in their early
twenties, and wore T-shirts, black
shirts, and jeans. Some witnesses have
even said that they smiled and looked
happy as they shot their victims.

• In this photo composite of five of the

nine suspected Islamic militants killed
during last month's attack on Mumbai
are shown in a release by Indian police
in Mumbai, India.Police have identified
the militants as clockwise from top left,
Abdul Rahman, Abdul Rehman Chota,
Babar Imran alias Abu Akasha, Nasir
alias Abu Umar, and Ismail Khan.
Photos of the other suspects are not
included because their bodies are too
badly burned.
• The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the
first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it – revealing he was ordered
to ‘kill until the last breath’. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks
were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people.
He revealed that the ten terrorists, who were highly trained in marine assault and
crept into the city by boat, had planned to blow up the Taj Mahal Palace hotel after
first executing British and American tourists and then taking hostages. As it is, their
deadly attacks have left close to 200 confirmed dead, with the toll expected to rise
to nearly 300 once the hotel has been fully searched by security forces.
• Kasab chillingly went through details of Wednesday night’s killing spree across the
city, which ended when he was cornered by police. He pretended to be dead, which
probably saved his life. It was only when he was being transferred to hospital by
ambulance that his accompanying officer noticed he was still breathing.
• Once inside Nair Hospital, Kasab, who suffered only minor injuries, told medical staff:
‘I do not want to die. Please put me on saline.’
• And as Indian commandos ended the bloody 59-hour siege at the Taj yesterday by
killing the last three Islamic gunmen, baby-faced Kasab was dispassionately
detailing the background to the mayhem. He described how its mastermind briefed
the group to ‘target whites, preferably Americans and British’. Some of the militants,
including Kasab, posed as students during a visit to Mumbai a month ago, filming
the ‘strike locations’ and familiarising themselves with the city’s roads.
 At least 164 people (civilians and security personnel) were
killed in the attacks. Among the dead were 30 foreign nationals
from 10 countries.
 In addition, nine terrorists were killed and one was captured.
 The bodies of many of the dead hostages showed signs of
torture or disfigurement.A number of the casualties were
notable figures in business, media, and security services.
 The Government of Maharashtra announced Rs. 5 lakh (about
10,000 USD) compensation to the kin of those killed in the
terror attacks and Rs. 50,000 (about 1,000 USD) to the
seriously injured.
 Hemant Karkare (हेमंत करकरे)
(12 December 1954 – 26
November 2008) was the
chief of the Mumbai Anti-
Terrorist Squad. He was killed
during the 2008 Mumbai
attacks after being shot three
3 times in the chest.
 Earlier, Karkare was involved
in the investigation of the
serial bomb blasts in Thane,
Vashi and Panvel, and led the
investigation of the 29
September blast in Malegaon.
 Sandeep Unnikrishnan (March 15,
1977 – November 28, 2008) was a
Major in the Indian Army serving in the
elite National Security Guards (NSG).
He was killed in action while fighting
terrorists in the November 2008
Mumbai attacks.
 “Do not come up, I will handle them.”
These were probably the last words
which Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan told
his men as he was hit by bullets while
engaging well armed terrorists inside
the Taj Hotel, Mumbai during the Black
Tornado operation.
 Vijay Salaskar (िवजय सालसकर)
was a Senior Police Inspector
and encounter specialist serving
with the Mumbai police.He is
widely credited with killing 75–
80 criminals in encounters —
most of these were members of
the Arun Gawli gang.Salaskar
was killed while fighting
terrorists in the November 2008
Mumbai attacks.Captured
terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab
claimed responsibility for the
killing.Before his death Salaskar
was head of the Anti-Extortion
Cell, Mumbai.
 Political reactions in Mumbai and India included a range of
resignations and political changes. Reactions included
condemnation of the attacks by Indian Muslim organizations
and personalities and insurgent movements. The business
establishment also reacted, with changes to transport, and
requests for an increase in self-defense capabilities.
 International reaction for the attacks was widespread, with
many countries and international organizations condemning
the attacks and expressing their condolences to the civilian
victims. Many important personalities around the world have
very strongly condemned the attacks
• The army was reported to have secured one of the hotels, and eight
hostages were freed at the Jewish outreach group. After two days of
gunfire and explosions, the attack was incorrectly reported to have
ceased as of the early morning of 28 November in Mumbai. The fires
were out and soldiers were leading hostages and holed-up guests to
safety and removing bodies of those killed in the attacks. Nariman
House and the Oberoi Trident were cleared of hostages by Indian
commandos. Later news reports indicated that there were still two or
three terrorists in the Taj, with explosions heard and gunfire
exchanged. Fires were also reported as having been caused at the
ground floor of the Taj with plumes of smoke arising from the first floor.
The final operation at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel was completed by the
National Security Guards at 08:00 on 29 November, killing three
terrorists and resulting in the conclusion of the attacks. The security
forces rescued 250 people in Oberoi, 300 in Taj and 12 families of 60
people in Nariman House.
