Times Now is showing images of the Taj hotel and there is no fire visible now.

What will the FBIs role be in this? Did the report say?

Are any other countries sending people?

My German is not so good, but I think I heard on the German radio that psycholgists are being made available for the German survivors for trauma treatment. I dont know if they are going to India to treat them or waiting until they get back here.

I think the FBI will be acting as possible investigators aswell as other foreign national reps. I really doubt they will be involved in the counter-terror ops, but maybe interviewing previous hostages for information on the suspects???

On the other hand Star News is reporting that there is still fire at the Taj. It is so confusing.

kayozz · Nov 28th, 2008, 01:45

Yep British and US (and possibly others) sending trained experts for investigative purposes.

mridula · Nov 28th, 2008, 01:47

Beeb is also reporting a team from the Interpol in their updates.

News reporter at Oberoi says the media is kept quite far away from the scene and she can only see the upper floors of Oberoi and knows only what they are being briefed.

mridula · Nov 28th, 2008, 01:55

India TV now says there is only one terrorist in Oberoi. But then ...

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 01:56

seems like none of the forces really want to release much news to the media now.... so it's all wait and see.. or rather 'wait and watch' as the Indians say

mridula · Nov 28th, 2008, 01:59

India TV now says 3 terrorists are arrested from Taj.

We were speculating during the day that if this would end by evening. Now I am wondering if this would last through the night.
