Massacre in Mumbai

This is horrific. 

Gunmen have opened fire at a number of sites in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay), killing at least 78 people and injuring about 200 more.

Police said shooting was continuing and that the incidents were co-ordinated terrorist attacks. Gunmen have taken hostages at two luxury hotels.

At least seven sites have been targeted across India’s financial capital.

A fire is sweeping through the Taj Palace, Mumbai’s most famous hotel which is now surrounded by troops.

The BBC’s Andrew Whitehead says a claim of responsibility by a little-known group, Deccan Mujhaideen, may harden suspicions that Islamic radicals are involved.

  1. I hope the President-Elect is listening.  I don’t think the bad guys want to talk.
