Terrorism proper is thus the systematic use

of violence to generate fear, and thereby to

achieve political goals, when direct military

victory is not possible. This has led some

social scientists to refer to guerrilla warfare

as the “weapon of the weak” and terrorism

as the “weapon of the weakest.”

The 2008 Mumbai attacks were more than ten coordinated shooting and bombing

terrorist attacks across Mumbai, India's largest city, by Islamic terrorists from

Pakistan. The attacks, which drew widespread condemnation across the world,

began on 26 November 2008 and lasted until 29 November, killing at least 173

people and wounding at least 308.

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji

Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Café,

Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-owned Nariman House, the Metro

Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.

There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at

Vile Parle. By theearly morning of 28 November, all sites except for the Taj hotel

had been secured by Mumbai Police and security forces. An action by India's

National Security Guards (NSG) on 29 November (the action is officially named

Operation Black Tornado) resulted in the death of the last remaining attackers at

the Taj hotel, ending all fighting in the attacks.

According to investigations the attackers traveled

by sea from Karachi, Pakistan across the Arabian

Sea, hijacked the Indian fishing trawler 'Kuber',

killing the crew, and then entered Mumbai on a

rubber dinghy. The captain of 'Kuber', Amar Singh

Solanki, had earlier been imprisoned for six months

in a Pakistani jail for illegally fishing in Pakistani

waters.

The first events were detailed around 20:00 Indian

Standard Time (IST) on 26 November, when 10

Urdu-speaking men in inflatable speedboats came

ashore at two locations in Colaba. They reportedly

told local Marathi-speaking fishermen to "mind their

own business" before they split up and headed two

different ways. The fishermen's subsequent report

to police received little response.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) was attacked by two gunmen, one of

whom, Ajmal Kasab, was later caught alive by the police and identified by

eyewitnesses. The attacks began around 21:30 when the two men entered the

passenger hall and opened fire, using AK-47 rifles. The attackers killed 58

people and injured 104 others, their assault ending at about 22:45.

The Leopold Cafe, a popular restaurant and bar on Colaba Causeway in

South Mumbai, was one of the first sites to be attacked. Two attackers

opened fired on the cafe on 26 November night, killing at least 10 people

(including some foreigners), and injuring many more.

There were two explosions in taxis caused by timer bombs. The first one

occurred at 22:40 at Vile Parle killing the driver and a passenger. The

second explosion took place at Wadi Bunder between 22:20 and 22:25. Three

people including the driver of the taxi were killed, and about 15 other people

were injured.

Two hotels, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower and the Oberoi Trident. were amongst the

four locations targeted. Six explosions were reported at the Taj hotel and one at the

Oberoi Trident.

CNN initially reported on the morning of the 27 November 2008 that the hostage

situation at the Taj had been resolved and quoted the police chief of Maharashtra stating

that all hostages were freed; however, it was learned later that day that there were still

two attackers holding hostages, including foreigners, in the Taj Mahal hotel.

During the attacks, both hotels were surrounded by Rapid Action Force personnel and

Marine Commandos (MARCOS) and National Security Guards (NSG) commandos.

When reports emerged that attackers were receiving television broadcasts, feeds to

the hotels were blocked. All attackers were out of the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels by

the early morning of November 29. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan of the NSG lost his

life as a result of a gun shot during the evacuation of Commando Sunil Yadav who was

hit in the leg by a bullet during the rescue operations at Taj.

A number of European Parliament Committee on International Trade delegates were

staying in the Taj Mahal hotel when it was attacked, but none of them were injured.

British Conservative Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Sajjad Karim (who

was in the lobby when attackers initially opened fire there) and German Social

Democrat MEP Erika Mann were hiding in different parts of the building. Also reported

present was Spanish MEP Ignasi Guardans, who was barricaded in a hotel room.

Another British Conservative MEP, Syed Kamall, reported that he along with several

other MEPs left the hotel and went to a nearby restaurant shortly before the attack.

Kamall also reported that Polish MEP Jan Masiel was thought to have been sleeping in

his hotel room when the attacks started, but eventually left the hotel safely. Kamall and

Guardans reported that a Hungarian MEP's assistant was shot. Also caught up in the

shooting were the President of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, while checking in at the

Oberoi Trident, and Indian MP N. N. Krishnadas of Kerala and Sir Gulam noon while

having dinner at a restaurant in the Taj hotel.

hostage. The house was stormed by NSG commandos and, after a long battle, one

NSG commandoand the two attackers were killed. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his

wife Rivkah Holtzberg, who was six months pregnant, were murdered with other

By the morning of 27 November, the army had secured the Jewish outreach center at

Nariman House as well as the Oberoi Trident hotel. They also incorrectly believed

that the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers had beencleared of attackers, and soldiers

were leading hostages and holed-up guests to safety, and removing bodies of those

killed in the attacks. However, later news reports indicated that there were still two or

three attackers in the Taj, with explosions heard and gunfireexchanged. Fires were

also reported at the ground floor of the Taj with plumes of smoke arising from the first

floor. The final operation at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel was completed by the NSG

commandos at 08:00 on 29 November, killing three attackers and resulting in the

conclusion of the attacks. The security forces rescued 250 people from the Oberoi,

300 from the Taj and 60 people (members of 12 different families) from Nariman

House. In addition, police seized a boat filled with arms and explosives anchored at

Mazgaon dock off Mumbai harbour.
