A organization known as Deccan Mujahiddin claimed responsibility. - Wikipedia

EDIT: SOURCE

An unknown outfit, Deccan Mujahideen, has sent an email to news organizations claiming that it carried out the Mumbai attacks.

I don't think wikipedia is the best source right now, but who knows right

I've only seen one piece of misinformation on it about hostage numbers, but that got edited out in seconds. Wikipedia's usually pretty good on events that are occuring as it generally ups the information as it comes in, like in the GeorgiaRussian war, Wikipedia was getting updates before the BBC.
But let's not derail this with another wikipedia debate.

Don't even try trolling this up.

I'm not trolling they are holding hostages aren't they? This means they want something

They haven't released any demands, but more than likely they want to use the hostages to demand media coverage for a spokesman to give some crazy rant.

CNN is asking people to try to identify a terrorist that has been photographed: (thanks Cyborgasm)


Total of 78 dead, 200 wounded civilian.
Hotel: 15 terrorists. Age 20 to 25. Wielding AK-47's and wearing HUGE amounts of explosions.
2 Terrorists shot, 9 suspects detained.
3 Policemen dead and 15 wounded.

The video provided showed that the terrorists struck from a police jeep. The shooting has been apparently pretty mindless and no-one particulary has been targeted, even thought the choice of dead policen is grotesque (e.g. Encounter Specialist, ATS Chief, etc)

Hotel Taj Majal. A reporter has managed to snuck inside, confirming that there are total of 200 people in the hall. I missed how much foreigners there are, perhaps 40? 3 MP's, 100 tourists. Navy, police and SRF trying to enter the hotel.

Hotel Oboroi. Hostage situation. The army commandos are inside the hotel, a loud blast + firing was heard from the inside just now! No information on what is going inside.

Some indian policeman is speaking english now, i don't understand what he is saying (thick accent)... There's so much information in the headlines in CNN Livefeed (e.g. Shooting in the Borivari area) that i'm not sure whether it's correct or not.

1:32:57 PM Forum time

yeah here was the terrorist they asked to identify




i print screened it from the live stream a little while back.

but because they have links with the student islamic movement, there are risks of this just being one attack, that may escelate into more, as SIMI have carried out on many attacks(check out timeline for recent attacks in india over past few years), and are rumoured to be controled by Al Queada or some shit.

I don't have a link but I just heard on the Polish news (one of the hostages is Polish) that over 800 are injured. anyone read anything like this??

yeah i think they just said 800 on NBC.

this is fucked.

edit 80 dead, 900 injured (india times)

I hope steel's family is ok. he hasn't posted in a couple hours since replying to this topic and this is usually his prime posting-time.

Absolutely terrible... There are a few potential culprits... Could be Islamic and/or Hindu extremists. Its looking pretty grim over there... hopefully its settled down soon.

That my dad flew there today on a buisness tirp and immediately got back on a plane and went home again

A friend of mine online believes it's a false flag and the Jews are responsible wow.
