Times Now reports Nariman House may not be over. 1 floor still to be santised.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:42

Now... news saying they have NOT secured one floor of Nariman House.. still one floor to be cleared. 1000's of people crowded and it's hard for security forces to get their vehicles in.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:43

Fire in the Taj

This is India

I don't think you can control the mob once it starts like this.

But why do they WANT to be there?

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:48

There were 3 consecutive explosions at the Taj on the 1st floor.. and now they say the fire is spreading at the back

They are reporting a senior politician is there. That perhaps explains the big crowd, but still????

BTW... it's dark again... night three begins.

Police are appealing to people to evacuate. last I saw they were chanting slogans to the security people. Cheering them.

Still saying probably 6 terrorists in Taj

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:52

Seems like the focus has now shifted to the Taj Hotel. The final frontier (as S Waugh may call it).

Got to keep the humour going lest it gets too tedious.

Apparently the politician is becoming a big distraction. These politicians should be sent to take on the terrorists. That will be interesting.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:55

They are saying the gunfire at Nariman was when one of the commandos came up something he was unsure of and opened fire. I can understand doing that

Still think the idiots in the streets should go home though. The time for parades is not now.

nayan · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:57

the crowds at nariman not because of politician. They are there to see the spectacle first hand. madness... but pretty common attitude in India.

judecg · Nov 28th, 2008, 19:58

New numbers... 155 dead, 327 injured

LilBoy BigTown · Nov 28th, 2008, 20:03

NSG Director General has confirmed that Nariman House is clear.

Also that 5 hostages were killed by the terrorists just before they came under fire by the commandos.

Tragic.

My driver heard on the radio that Cheneii(sp?) was and possibly is their next target. Has anyone heard this?
