No one can ever understand or explain some of the atrocities radical terrorists do in the name of God. Today, Mumbai wakes to find its city in shambles and terror as Bombs and coordinated attacks went off in almost 9 places. The Taja and Oberoi Hotels were overtaken and the people taken hostages.Gunmen opened fire at anyone who stood in their way and many people lost their life.I just got news that a Singaporean is one of the hostages in the hotels.I pray that this massacre of innocent people will stop as it is and the remaining people who are alive to make it out alive.
''A group calling itself the "Deccan Mujahedeen" claimed responsibility for the attacks late Wednesday night on the Taj Mahal and Oberoi Trident hotels, and eight other locations, including the main train station, a hospital and an up-market restaurant. Maharashtra state's Director General of Police A N Roy said around 100 people were killed in the precisely targeted assaults by small groups of gunmen armed with AK-47s and grenades that began around 10.30 pm (1700 GMT).

I wanted to blog about the accomodation in Japan today, but the first news i heard was that a Japanese Tourist was killed in the attacks and that just destroyed my mood completely.Now its a Singaporean Hostage in the hands of the terrorists.....I pray that the commandos and special forces will be able to kill/capture those terrorists as fast as possible. My deepest condolences to all who lost their lives this fateful day.
