MUMBAI: Terrorists struck at India's financial capital late Wednesday night as at least seven near-simultaneous firings and explosions rocked areas in the vicinity of posh hotels in South Mumbai, leaving ten persons dead and several injured. ( Watch )

Armed with AK-47 rifles and grenades, a couple of terrorists entered the passenger hall of crowded Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal (CST) railway station and opened fire.

Ten people were killed in firing at Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) station, police said. Over 30 people were injured in firing at CST, a senior police official said.

Director General of Police A N Roy said at least two terrorists were holed up inside the Oberoi Hotel where firing was on.

Three people, employees of Taj Hotel in South Mumbai, were killed after being fired upon by terrorists and an equal number of people died in a bomb blast in a taxi at Dockyard Road.

There were reports of firing around several landmark buildings in the Colaba-Nariman Point area, including the Taj hotel, Oberoi and other tourist attractions and pubs like Leopold's. The top floor of Oberoi was said to be on fire amid reports of blasts in the area and blood-smeared bodies were being brought out of the Taj lobby.

Firing and blasts were also reported from Mazgaon, the Metro Junction, Crawford Market and Colaba. There were reports of a blast in a taxi on the Western Express Highway, near Vile Parle, but there was no confirmation.

The firing and bombing apparently started close to the Gateway of India. The gunbattle then moved on towards CST and raged on for over 45 minutes from 10 pm, sending commuters running out of the station.

The assailants also fired into the crowd at CST and people on the trains and then ran out of the station themselves and into neighbouring buildings, including Cama Hospital, after being challenged by cops.

SRPF personnel then entered the iconic BMC building -- just opposite CST -- to take aim at the assailants, BMC commissioner Jairaj Phatak said. "We fear some of the assailants are still inside the station and we want to catch them if they come out," a police official said.

Vikhroli police station senior inspector Habib Ansari was on his way to work from his Colaba home when he saw two armed men, with sophisticated weaponry, trying to run into bylanes near the Gateway of India.

"I rushed back to Colaba and all policemen, including GRP and RPF personnel, were called up," he added.

Bhisham Mansukhani, a journalist, was attending a wedding reception at the Taj's Crystal Room. "I was inside the bar when glass shards almost hit my eye," he said. "More than 200 people were escorted inside Chambers, a business centre inside the hotel," he added.

hey all. i just had something very important to say, luckily the mobile phone lines aren't jammed and i'm able to contact my loved ones and log on here.

my friend is in jj hospital, we've all been out for almost 12 hours now and three eunuchs helped carry 5 individuals to jj hospital just outside cafe leopold. one of them was our dear friend mark. though he is conscious he has a broken, arm, and glass shards lodged in his abdomen due to the impact.

i want everyone to know that this is not just an attack by pakistani and/or indian militants. this is a scam that has been orchestrated by the ptb. i will post more as and when i can because channels like the bbc and cnn are giving a false perspective on the whole thing.

while waiting in the corridor we heard and read reports on indian channels that 20 EU MPs and 2 u.s. intelligence officials were residing in the taj palace hotel at the time of the terrorist attacks. this has been mentioned in the times of india only. the email in which the deccan mujahideen is claiming responsibility for the blasts has been traced to russia.

this is the news the international media is not reveling to the viewers, save for the one instance where an indian jewish family [not israeli, as cnn earlier reported] is being held hostage in a residential building called nariman house, around 10 mins from here.

indian news channels and dailies have also made no mention of al qaeda. this is being reported solely by the international press. i am aware that this will eventually put pakistan under the microscope, and there is no doubt in my mind that world govts along with the pakistani intel have orchestrated this. i will not be surprised if the current ruling party here in india are also aware of this.

i hope we all sail through this together, and remember- nothing is what it seems.

do not, under any circumstances, trust what the media is telling you.

much love,

apparently hijacking oil ship brings revenue to these terrorists and there is no us naval ship presence there to control.

Its aim is world peace and international cooperation.

US was pulled in the world wars (1 n 2)and you should be thankful to them otherwise Germany would have conquered your nation UK.

UN is the worst organization in the world today not living up to its expectations.

US even fought with the brits one war right after getting independence in 1812.

Obama winning the presidency is proof of how anyone can become the president in this country.

Britishers come up with conspiracy theories because they have nothing else to do it appears. The whole fun of adventurism and exploration seems to be lost after it lost its empire. Many create fictional stories so that they can sell their books. You need to check that those people do not enter your head. Even Diana acted lunatic in the end. Any one can fall victim to non reality.

Zionists, Wahhabi/Islamic extremists, British Israelis, christian identity/Zionist, KKK, etc are elite creations and all these factions are elite controlled. They are agents of the elite, agent provocateurs. The low level members eg the ones brainwashed to do the attacks do not understand that their leaders are a part of the elite and are puppet masters.
