Mumbai is under seize by a series of bomb blasts and shootouts in at least twelve prominent locations in the upmarket and densely populated South Mumbai, including hotels (Oberai Trident, Taj Mahal, and Ramada), the popular restaurant Leopold Cafe, hospitals (Cama Hospital and Bombay Hospital), the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station and the police headquarters in South Mumbai.

The situation is still developing and there is wide speculation about whether these incidents are a result of a gang war or a coordinated terrorist attack. Hitherto little-known terrorist organization Deccan Mujahideen has taken responsibility for the attacks but many believe that Lashkar-e-Taiba is behind the attacks.

So far at least 101 people are feared to be dead and t least 250 more are reported to be injured. At least 50 100 more people, especially British and US nationals, have been held hostage by the terrorists at the Taj Mahal and Oberai Trident hotels.

Several senior law enforcement officials, including Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad Chief Hemant Karkare and Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte are reported dead. Indian army and navy forces have moved in to control the situation.

So far, micro-blogging service Twitter seems to be the best source for real time citizen news on the Mumbai terrorist attacks, and “Mumbai” & “#Mumbai” are both on Twitter trending topics now

On live TV and via still photo's they showed Indian "commandoes" fast roping (rappelling from a helo) onto the roof of the Jewish center. WTF Let's just let the terrorist know what the hell they are doing and how they are about to enter the building. I mean f*ck surprise, it's over rated right? Damn media.
