NOTE: police have cordoned off the Marriott... I'm waiting to see if they are saying there has now been an attack or continuing to confirm there is no attack there...

judecg · Nov 27th, 2008, 02:56

“Some terrorist incidents are happening, some grenades were lobbed,” A.N. Roy, director general of police for Maharashtra state, said in a telephone interview. “Give us some time to get a clearer picture.”

Police said the two attackers at the Oberoi had escaped, Times TV reported. Two suspected terrorists were subsequently killed when driving away from the direction of the Oberoi, Times TV reported. There was no one other than the two in the car, Times TV said. It wasn’t clear whether any guests remained inside the hotel, Times TV said. Police didn’t say whether the two men were the terrorists who attacked the Oberoi, it reported.

MSNBC is reporting 80 people dead and 250 wounded. Something is wrong with Mumbai Police department. In addition, there must be community support in Mumbai that helps these terrorist cells to operate like this.

Very sad.
