Mumbai Terror: Five terrorists killed, one captured
Press Trust of India / Mumbai Nov 27, 2008, 12:37 IST
Security forces today prepared to launch an assault to flush out terrorists from two luxury hotels - Taj and Trident - where a couple of 100 people are believed to be either held hostage or trapped in the most audacious terror attacks that have claimed over 100 lives and left over 300 injured in India's financial capital
Latest reports indicate that terrorists, about 10-12 in number in Trident, formerly Oberoi, alone, have made some ransom demands but Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil said no demands have come from them.
He said five of the dozen terrorists in Trident have been killed, while one has been captured and was being interrogated.
Claiming to have some "vital leads", the minister expressed confidence of breakthrough soon.
An unspecified number of foreigners, including Americans, Israelis and Canadians are believed to be among those trapped in the two hotels and in Nariman House, a residential complex with an old Jewish prayer hall, where also a hostage situation prevailed.
As the day broke, gunbattles raged between terrorists, believed to have come in a boat to the Gateway of India, opposite Taj hotel, and commandoes and fresh explosions rocked the two hotels after the night of terror targeting ten places.
Was he caught to make him another national hero, like the one who attacked the parliament? so that Congress can get some more support from Muslims later ?
