Mumbai Taj Hotel Terrorist Attack - Nov 26, 2008

In what can be said as one of the worst attacks ever in India, Mumbai was brought to a stand-still due to a terrorist attack that happened in the wee-hours. The photographs of the terror attack are terrifying. The youngter murderers (terrorists) looked relentless in their pursuit to kill. Police officers lay dead, journalists take bullets and all this is happening in the country's one of the best hotels.



A lot can be said about what the politicians are doing/trying to do and what will be the future. However, this is one attack that might actually help in the anti-terror war. Until now, all attacks that happened were aimed at the middle class society. They get the financial help to a certain extent, some amount of media coverage a lot of public sympathy. Period. 1 week, may be another and the news is over!


This time, the attack happened in a 5 star hotel, The Taj, in Mumbai. This means, the people were killed over 100 of them can be expected to be the big shots in their respective fields. Amidst all Indians who were killed in terror attacks, if we have a few big names who were in the list this time, the impact on the anti-terror war is going to be much higher. Well, will we be able to wipe-out terrorists? No, but the changes in policy or the changes in handling terror attacks is bound to ge a major face-lift now. Wait and watch.
