ISLAMIC WEBSITES REJOICE OVER MUMBAI ATTACKS

It's a holy war, I tell ya. Pious Muslims celebrate worldwide.

India: Islamic websites rejoice over Mumbai attacks

Mumbai, 27 Nov. (AKI) - Al-Qaeda websites on Thursday were swamped with messages from people who were celebrating the devastating Mumbai attacks which have left over 100 people dead and 281 injured. "Oh Allah, destroy the Hindus and do it in the worst of ways," was one of the comments that appeared on Islamist forums on the Internet immediately after the attacks.

"The battle that is underway in Mumbai is a battle for Allah between its servants and the infidels," said another message published on the al-Falluja forum.

Several Al-Qaeda sites also posted several pictures of the victims in Mumbai and provocative statements.

Massacre in Mumbai: Up to SEVEN gunmen were British and 'came from same area as 7/7 bombers'

• British-born Pakistanis among arrested violent muslims
  
• Commandos storm strongholds to rescue hostages
• Siege continues at Taj hotel as bystanders wounded
  
• Death toll rises as another 24 bodies found in hotel
• At least five dead hostages found in Jewish Centre

Calm: One of the young gunmen with his weapon, looking for more victims. Indian authorities say two of the arrested militants were British-born Pakistanis

Loss: Bollywood actor Ashish Chaudhary is consoled outside Mumbai's Trident-Oberoi Hotel after learning about his sister's death

Gone: US citizen Alan Scherr and daughter Naomi, pictured with his wife Kia, were killed in Mumbai's Oberoi hotel. They were in India with religious group Synchronicity Foundation, which was hosting a meditation program at the hotel

Mumbai officials say more than 155 people in total have now died in the attacks. Another 370 were wounded.

 

Terror: Indian special forces prepare to take back the Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai

The tragic figures include the bodies of another five hostages who were found dead inside the Nariman House Jewish Centre this afternoon after commandos finally secured the building.

Two militants were also killed. It is not known whether the Rabbi and his wife who were believed to be among the hostages are dead or alive.

Around 20 masked officers had raided the centre this morning, dropping from helicopters onto the roof, in an operation dubbed Operation Black Tornado.

Hours of heavy fighting ensued as they moved from floor after floor. As dusk fell, there was a massive explosion and it appeared to be over.

Across the city at the Oberoi Hotel, the siege ended when two militants were shot dead. 

Rescued: A British man is led to safety from the Oberoi Trident Hotel today and below, another guest emerges clutching a tiny baby

Foreigners from Japan, Australia, Italy and Germany and one Briton - tycoon Andreas Liveras - have already been confirmed as among the victims.

At least eight Britons were injured and there are fears the British toll could yet rise further as more and more buildings are made stable and searched.

Earlier, one commando revealed he had seen around 50 bodies littering the Taj hotel floor after special officers stormed the building and rescued hundreds of guests.

Clad in black, with a mask covering his face, the unit chief said: 'There was blood all over the bodies. The bodies were strewn here and there and we had to be careful as we entered the building to avoid further bloodshed of innocent civilians.'

The terrorists had seemed like young, ordinary men but had clearly been very well trained, he said.

'They were wearing T-shirts, just ordinary looking, but they have definitely been trained to use weapons. There is no way they could handle such weapons without being taught how to.'

Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka were believed to be inside the Jewish centre where the bodies of five hostages were found

It is thought they gained entrance to the hotels by pretending to be staff and hotel guests, according to reports.

Indian commandos have recovered credit cards and the militants' ID cards as well as seizing a vast arsenal of grenades, AK-47 magazines, shells and knives.

Desperate: A hostage at the Oberoi peeks out of his window during the siege

There has been speculation that a British Al Qaeda suspect reportedly killed by a U.S. missile strike in Pakistan last weekend may have helped plot the attacks.

Rashid Rauf was among five killed in a missile attack in a tribal area in North Waziristan on Saturday.

Security sources believe that at the time of his death Rauf had been planning a major attack on Western targets.

On the hunt: Two muslims brandishing automatic weapons and below, the scene of carnage they left behind at the main train station

The bloody drama which began on Wednesday night has now lasted more than two days. The targets across the city were:

• The Oberoi Hotel, in the commercial district. Its restaurant was bustling with diners, many of them tourists;
• Also attacked was the Leopold restaurant, a haunt of the city's art crowd. As the fanatics sprayed the packed cafe, diners fled in terror;
  
• Some of the worst scenes were at the major railway station. As they entered the Gothic Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, once named after Queen Victoria, the gunmen were smiling. With an astonishing air of casualness, the terrorists started to shoot. Within seconds the concourse was a bloodbath. People lay screaming on the floor;
  
• A further prestigious target was the 105-year-old Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel;
  
• More hostages were taken at the nearby Chabad House, headquarters for an ultra-orthodox Jewish group. A rabbi was among those held.

About 15 police officers were killed, including the head of Mumbai's anti-terrorism unit.

The attack on the train station had echoes of previous terror outrages.

In July 2006 more than 180 people were killed in seven bomb explosions at railway stations and on trains in Mumbai that were blamed on Islamist militants.

Added your post to BlogWatch: War on Terrorism

We must understand who is attacking us. We can not bury our heads in the sand because we do not want to be called bigots. We can not make friends with these people by being friendly ... they believe in their heart that they have lived a life where they have no chance for blessings and their last hope is an act of religious martyrdom for a god that would otherwise condemn them. They are wrong, and should not be allowed to murder. There is no honor in their massacre.

Thank you for shining light on the subject.

Hi Gellar,
I am a real fan of your bold and fearless posts. I also regret for those of your country and the Jews who died in Mumbai terrorist attacks. But I don't like you idea of comparing worth of a Jew' life with that of an Indian. Everyone's life is precious. I hope u were doing that from point of view of terrorists. And with regard to these wimps known as terrorists there remains only one solution-their complete eradication. They hate everyone except their community lest be Jews, Hindus, Christians.. I want to join ur crusade against these minions. Please do guide me. My blog will be at your service whenever required.
love,
Sher Khan

I have gone through all al-BBCeera stories, not a single word about Muslim terrorists murdering innocent civilians, its all about Militants executing hostages.
As for the stories about English muzzies, they are nothing but rumours, the Prime Minister currently discounts them. I will also bet a penny to a dollar that once these are indentified, put on trial and sentenced to be hanged, there will be howls of outrage from the piss-loving muzzies all over the world and strong demands for the British government to intervene on behalf of their "citizens".

The longer we allow the "Religion of Peace" drivel to continue the harder it is going to be to break. We have got to be willing to recognize evil in our time and stop it.

This is why Americans need to fight like crazy to keep our guns. If India's people were allowed to have fire arms it might not have been so horrible. I fear that the Man Child will try to take our Guns. I feel sorry for anyone that comes to my door to take them from me. The Liberal's would love to see us more helpless. They already stole our Money. Then they write up a Stimulus that the Republicans were not allowed to read. Just diversions they are throwing at us to keep us from seeing and hearing what is really going on. I don't drink Kool Aid, and I didn't vote for the Devil either. The Attack in India was more than horrible. These monsters don't want to be converted to anything other then Islam. They will kill anyone without batting a eye lash.
