Sorry to hear that Pam. It looks like their out to get Westerners again as well as just being bloody indiscriminant.
I suppose it'll be a few days before we get the full toll.

On the Sun home page, there is a number you can ring if anyone is worried about missing friends or family out there.

Re: British and American hostages taken in India

My friends' wife runs the News department in one of the big TV stations in Delhi, they think that they may have lost a couple of reporters in that hotel massacre. How horrific.

India is no stranger to attacks by Islamic militants, usually Pakistani, usually over some esoteric India-Pakistan issue, this seems to be a little different than the usual stuff (though whether its another one of this Al Queda things remains to be seen). I hope the Indian police and security can end this situation without any more loss of innocent life, its a terrible sitiuation for them over there.

Re: British and American hostages taken in India

It's a disgrace that anyone should dream up an act like this. Perhaps someone somewhere wants a Hindu backlash against Indian Muslims in order to radicalise Indian Muslims into supporting more outrages, and they've thrown in anti-Westernism for flavouring. One can only hope that the police are up to untangling the plot with both skill and honesty. It could, after all, be Indian Nationalists. They've been the most active in previous bombings in Mumbai on a similar scale to this.

Re: British and American hostages taken in India

Thankgod Im in Moscow and not there. They have tighter security here today, KGB and NKVD are crawling all over the metro. They asked me for my passport twice already and searched my backpack. They are not causing a lot of disruptions either. Lines are better targets. They do not like backpacks. Im not surprised by this at all, that corner of IndiA has been smouldering for decades and frankly I find it ironic that these 5 star hotels are just minutes away from one of the biggest slums in India. Can you think of a better place to hide and even recruit and train people?

My husband works with Pakistani's and they often say India is a time-bomb waiting to happen.
