Mumbai attacks
(What do you see outside the Taj Mahal Hotel?) One can see the firing was ongoing for multiple hours. The army and government have cordoned off the entire hotel and there are at least two terrorists on the 6th floor of the hotel who they’re firing at and also throwing hand grenades outside. At least five bombs went off inside the hotel. The commandos are planning to go inside to get the terrorists. (What can you tell us about how this all unfolded?) At least about 10 terrorists went aboard a high speed motorboat and then they attacked a restaurant which is popular with tourists. Then the gunmen went into the hotel and started firing indiscriminately. We also know there could be a hostage like situation in the hotel because there are at least 40 guests inside the hotel still.
