Thats what maked me thnk they have had training. To have kept this thing going for so long means they must have planned it well and had proper training. Fingers crossed no more innocents die. Keep yourselves safe Andu11 & Indian Gunner
: The National guard are being very cautious ......there is some back story to this .....No reports of hostages...so i would have thought the would have gassed the place ..
Yes, they are only left in the Taj. But they are really difficult to bring down. They seem to be changing locations swiftly and considering there are about 800 rooms accross so many floors and that too in the dead of night(it's around 3.30 am here), it only gets difficult. In addition, they are equipped with grenades and sophisticated weapons. They could've planted them on the floor.
Well if they put people on the stairs, and stop the elevators, then they can only really stay on on floor.
Electricity has been cut off in most sections of the Taj... the operation has slowed down a bit now... maybe they are waiting for dawn to start full fledged operation, I don't know. The DG of NSG had said the operation would be over this night, but by the looks of it that seems unlikely. EDIT:- Fresh firing heard from inside the Taj... a terrorist spotted.
This is absoleutly dreadful. My thoughts and prayers are with thosewho lost their lives, especially the hostages that were executed for no reason.
My parents have been watching this closely. It's been a shocking few days to say the least - India has been rocked. It's disgraceful. And Andu, I'm really sorry about your dads friend. IG and Andu, just keep yourselves and your family safe man. RIP to the dead. May the terrorists burn in hell.
Its over All 3 sites are now in control of the NSG Pakistan has denied any involvement and has refused to let its ISI chief come to India .....
Wonder if this incident will slow down the numbers of Brits who visit India.No it will not.We never let the IRA beat us and so this won't deter Brits from visiting your country.
It never has and it has always surprised me ....but i belive travel advisory's have been issued for good reason ... The big question is now what ?
I was thinking something similar this morning. Bring in 'Internment' for British Muslims and weed out the bad eggs. In other words round them all up forcefully and sort the wheat from the chaff.
Well as of last night the foreign minister had confirmed that the ISI chief ( read Terrorist in Chief ) would be sent to India The supposedly Liberal lot are allready advocating that the peace talks should go on with pakistan I would want to break of all peace talks with pakistan ..untill they take some tangible action against terrorism The peace talks are a waste of time if pakistan continue to harbor such anti-social elements It doesnt make a f@ck of difference if these are rouge elements or the top administration knew about all this .. Normally i dont give a f@ck whether pakistan is doomed or not ...but when it starts affecting my country at such a scale...I would want my govt to pursue all avenues possible to put their bloody house in order
I know that the ISI chief is being sent, heard it on the radio this morning. If peace talks with a foreign state, with which India already has disputes with, are cancelled because of these terrorist attacks then the terrorists have won. Pakistan are taking action against terrorists, dozens of armed forces have been killed in action fighting the fanatics in lawless regions. The problem is, even if the Pakistani forces had the power to take over the lawless regions, which they don't, the moderates can never reverse the indoctrination installed into the radical youth. Pakistan aren't habouring terrorists in the same sense as Afghanistan was in regard to 'Al-Qaeda' and company. It's not as if the Pakistani state wants these organisations in their country. In my opinion it does matter. 'British' citizens were apparently involved in these attacks. What if they trained in the New Forest? Would you suggest breaking ties with Britain? Exactly. The best course of action the Indian government can take is to work closely with Pakistan, possibly to the extent where India has access to the best intelligence and even are allowed to carry out covert strikes. In my opinion, the Pakistani government are allowing the US to make these strikes in Pakistan and the shooting down of drones are just for show, to prevent serious opposition to the government. I think the worst thing India can do now is to isolate Pakistan and miss out on the opportunity to bridge relations with the Pakistani state and really challenge the extremist elements. That's just my opinion though and I can see what you're saying, especially having witnessed first hand what you have.
Well if they are "British" Muslims..please send them back here & line them up & shoot them! Time we took the hardest line possible with scum like that!
This morning the request was denied ....... This only on the NWFP...and only because of pressure America put on them Terror camps blatantly operate in POK. The amount of evidence given to pakistan on this matter is almost ridiculous..to say Pakistan is taking ample action against terror camps is laughable..specially with the impunity the LET and JEM operate in Pakistan. I would if there was evidence that the MI6 was helping these terrorists. Thats exactly what the ISI is doing. Probably the most obvious example would be Dawood Ebrahim...He has been protected by the ISI for a long long time..and inspite of evidence to this point..no effort has been made to deport him to India One more example would be the JEM head Maulana Massood who was released during the IC-814 hijacking ...he went to pakistan ...and stll operates out of POK True ...I really think this is a great opportunity to build bridges with Pakistan...but how is this too happen?? Summit after summits ? or maybe a couple of train and rail links...One would think if Pakistan wanted to build bridges..they would have sent the ISI chief to India
All of which are fair points. Again, all fair points. At this conjucture it's also relevant to bring up the fact that the ISI wired Mohammed Atta $100,000 just before 9/11. I thought they have?
