Mumbai Terror Attacks ON CCTV

ndian security forces have been exchanging fire with gunmen holding dozens of hostages in two luxury hotels in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay). Troops surrounded the premises shortly after armed men carried out a series of co-ordinated attacks across the city, killing 101 people and injuring 287. The hotels were among at least seven sites in the main tourist and business district targeted late on Wednesday. Police say four suspected terrorists have been killed and nine arrested. The situation is still volatile in two of the most high-profile targets of Wednesday's attacks - the Taj Mahal Palace and Oberoi Trident hotels, where armed men are believed to be holding about 40 hostages. There are reports of intermittent exchange of fire between security forces and the assailants barricaded inside both hotels. Correspondents say security personnel have so far not stormed the premises perhaps for fear of endangering the lives of hostages, some of whom could be Westerners.
