Terror has once again struck in Mumbai, India. Gunmen have struck seven high-end areas in India’s financial capital. Reports are still unclear but there are reports hotel guests are being held now as hostages. Initial reports have at least 80 dead and 200 injured.
An unknown group called Deccan Mujahideen is claiming responsibility but security officials have not confirmed the veracity of that statement.
It is sad. On TV today it was said Mumbai is like the NYC of India. Such an attack in such a large international city must be for some reason – but what? Some say it is about Kashmir – the disputed territory between India and Pakistan. Since both have nuclear weapons, lets all pray that the situation does not escalate.
