Declare emergency and let the army take over. We need fresh new democracy, and rid of this cancer now. Democracy can wait.

The bloody NDTV is calling them militents..
Seriously, i will do something bad to any character I see from these media houses
Pictures of blasts on flickr. It looks like the photographer got to the site before the police arrived.

deccan mujahidden claims responsibility?
Can’t be the deccan mujahidden only – too big an attack
OK. got an sms. Dad is fine. Thanks for all your help.
KIRAN…
YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME…MAN…..GR8./…CHILL AND HELP US ABUSING THESE MORONS…
MARTIAN.,..\
WTF…WHO IS DECCAN MUJAHIDEEN…MAN I FED OF THIS GREEN SHIT….
Yay – army is in
WTF…WHO IS DECCAN MUJAHIDEEN…MAN I AM FED UP OF THIS GREEN SHIT….
NDTV: Army moves in Trident.
Just looking at the army makes one feel better. They look sharp
ATS chief hemant karkare who was investigating malegaon killed in encounter. also vijay saluskar, encounter specialist.
They need to scout the whole city
Army is ordered to move in 5 hours after the attacks start, un believeable.
VOTE FOR THE UPA AND THE TERRORISTS WIN…..
5 WHOLE HOURS WASTED, I guess UPA gvt. thinks the Army’s role is only to RESCUE Children falling into Bore / Tube wells?????
Who are the Deccan Mujahideen?
NDTV showed a cctv picture of one of the terrorists. He looked about 25 years old. He was wearing a Versace t-shirt. Face was definitely desi.
@Jiggs,
They want the jihadis to escape. that is why.
ramu: what are u implying? The people who couldnt even intelligently plan something and used a known motorcycle is now planning such an attack.. great thinking
ok ndtv reports FIRING AT J W MARRIOTT HOTEL IN JUHU, NORTH BOMBAY
72 KILLED TILL NOW….CONFIRMED NUMBER
All 4 states goes to BJP.
Hasan Gafur leads counter terror operations at Trident. :-/
72 .. rings a bell Jiggs?
We need to remove Hasan Gafoor from site – he will lead to more innocent deaths. Need to let army do their job
martian – dont know about that but the urban definitely will go against the congress, delhi polls over the weekend should be first indication of it.
Army lays siege on Taj. No terrorist escapes alive.
Y:
Why should Shivraj Patils’ lynching be “Dharma notwithstanding”?
Kill him: it is Dharma.
—a Mumbaikar (not that it matters; any non-jihadi would want to see Patil put out of his misery).
Ashish,
please add
- SOnia
- MMS (who is not sleeping because 2 terrorists died)
- Paswan
- Laloo
- Other jihadi supporters
Ashish – no too painless lynching for a week is better send him to somalia i hear they conduct a sham trial and do mass lynching and stoning in a stadium
Army surrounds Trident and Oberoi as well (timesnow). Finally, professionals. Nobody hijacks a bloody van and escapes now eh.
CNN-IBN has pics of Indian Army ‘Grenadiers’.
ramu I pitty your reasoning abilities…. I mean there is something called as basic IQ, I presume you dont have that much either.
It didn’t surprised us at all. If not Mumbai, it had to happen in another city/place. Last two months, whole Mumbai and national machianry (IB, etc) devoted to a political case, for vote-banks and power.
Very Sad, so many innocents had to die and so many will suffer whole life.No words to express. Only few days back, about 100 killed in Asom and more than 500 injured.
It is very clear, unless Congress-UPA goes, we can’t have any security and peace in India.
ARMY IS OUR ONLY HOPE….
Just look at their power of ability to spin a theory out of even a martyr, even in this critical time. Infact Karkare wud’ve opened a can of worms on Congi pressure on Malegoan case.
May his soul RIP
Ashish – no too painless lynching for a week is better send him to somalia i hear they conduct a sham trial and do mass lynching and stoning in a stadium
Yes..:-)
Nationalists move all the time toward creating a better Bharat out of an inborn sense of belonging to their motherland.
Since no Kangressi/jehadi apologist moves unless his @$$ is set on fire; we need to do the needful for our morally and cerebrally challenged b@stard brothers.
Yossarin…
I agree with Martian, that Congress is doomed int eh 4 states.
However, I fear that the goons in power will extract their pound of flesh from the & innocent citizens arrested in the Malegaon blasts case, by fixing them in the latest blasts one way of the other.
anybody that has even attended a simi rally, any bangladeshi shuold be picked up and randomly encountered, its fair game! a few mass terror attacks in rawalpindi, karachi, and islamabad would make it even!
@Jiggs : This has been getting worse. I can watch the NDTV live stream now.
I heard some Congress MP speak and he could say was that we should not speculate because of communal tensions.
Lesser said about Shivraj Patil the better.
Someone keeps saying look at the blood stains.
But what is worrying me is that everytime Hemant Karkare’s name comes up. It is being told that he was investigating Hindu Terrorism.
Also I could see a saffron band (could be a watch) on the terrorists photo. I have a bad feeling about this.
And the Indian media says … Karkare, had been under attack from BJP, Shiv Sena, blah blah blah
Intutively, this was kind of an attack was expected: What causes the max damage to India’s image, brings kashmir or whatever cause to the forefront? Killing 100s of Indian civilians in Ahmedabad or taking a few foreigners hostage in downtown Mumbai??
NDTV reports 9 terrorists arrested.
song of the hour:
Tu chuppi hai kahan Manmohini
mai tadapta yahaan
tuchuppi hai kahan Manmohiniiiiiiiii
ibn has a mugshot of terrorist in blue t-shir blue pack pack crsa written on the t-shirt.
78 dead, 200 injured, I’m sure the deadcount will be over 100
And that’s all we’ve been reduced to .. counting our dead
IB is saying only LET has ability to organise this attack
@Yossarin: I think it has Universal written on it.
“Deccan mujahideen” claims responsibility – TimesNow
@Kiran,
Trust me everyone knows this is the mullahs. No one will blame Hindus for this.
They are trying to redeem Hemanth Karkare – saying he died against Jihadi terrorism
We need to catch a few alive. We’ll get the rest
PS: Seems a lot have escaped
2 or 3 MPs holed up in Taj hotel
@ Rationalist
WTF?!!!
What reasoning? I reported what I saw on TV. Obviously no one knows his name, and everyone knows about Malegaon and he was in charge of it.
Nothing implied other than what your own sick brain tells you.
Strange that the ATS chief gets shot dead despite wearing a bullet pr00fvest. Scary. What kinda weapons are the terrorists using? Or was he delibrately targetted?
It simple Congress coz of its stupid and lazy attitude is under fire from the voters. The terror strikes which have happened in India in the past year , I AM COMING TO A CONCLUSION WITH TACTIC UNDERSTANDING WITH THE CONGRESS PARTY, have worsened their electoral prospects.
They cook up this lullu of Hindu Terrorism and they are not getting anywhere.
Now, again their is a massive terror strike in Bombay and knowing what two timing b@sturds these Congis are, they will try and link atleast Karkare’s death to the Malegaon blast accussed.
Dont be surprised…..
HINDUS ARE UNDER ATTACK….I.E…BHARAT IS UNDER ATTACK…SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERY ONE YOU KNOW….
VOTE FOR THE UPA AND THE TERRORISTS WIN…
“9 suspected terrorists arrested”
only hindus are guilty beforehand, islamic jihadis are ’suspected’ always, even if convicted by supreme court, not hanged by the UPA, and then released by the NDA!
It would be great if the MPs would go.
OUr politicians might wake up
PS; SOmeohow the rakshasa’s face looks like the guys the andhra police recently released
@Nisha: That seems fair enough. I was reading too much into the fact that they keep repeating Hindu Terrorism. I was thinking they have some information not available yet. Judging by past history, it has to be Jihadis.
How come no one has claimed any credit yet?
@Jiggs,
Elections are too far away
Police & Army rushing into Taj right now.

Policevan hijacked; shootings reported
Why is the media compromising the positions of counter terror commandos?
TAJ MAHAL SITUATION IS VERY GRIM, THE HOTEL ROOFTOP IS ON FIRE, THE FIRE BRIGADE CANNOT DO ITS DUTY, COZ THE TERRORISTS ARE SHOOTING….
NOW , I CAN SEE ARMY COMMANDOS ( 10 TO 11) GOING IN THE TAJ…
INDIAN ARMY ROCKS….
Hi,
Above 80 people have been feared to been dead and 250 people have been inujured….
The main issue is about 40 people have been kept as hostage..
this is not going to stop it seems… many people will have sleepless night today..
- Ministers are told not to step outside
- The civilians have also been told this
- the terrorists have hijacked a police jeep(white coloured) and they have abandoned it near the police headquarters and then now they have taken a black car and trying to escape..
more soon…
Firing at media – hope they get slurdesai
Seems police van hijacked…firing on people & media personnel!
huge blast at oberoi
firing in Borivali
Srirangan..
Bombay Police has cut power supply to the TAJ, cable TV networks have been jammed and I heard army/navy have brought in mobile jammer units to confuse any communication signals.
Doubt if them terrorists can see TV
Man…these aren’t conventional terror attacks…this is a f******* WAR!
Check out indiatimes.com It says deccan mujahiddin
3 mps ’stuck’ in taj hotel
I hope they are UPA members, and i sure do hope the scullcap rageboys get em!
Yossarin…
The balsts at Oberoi hotel is coz 30-35 Army Commandos went in 15 mins ago….May be they are frying cutlets !!!!!
ramu, dont cry foul.. okay! its not the first time I have seen you making such insinuations on this blog…
I am not focussing on the words INDIAN OR DECCAN AT ALL….
MY ONLY INTEREST IS FIND OUT WHAT LANGUAGE USES THE WORD MUJAHID AND WHAT RELIGION DO THEY FOLLOW
@Jiggs,
Please who don’t love country or it’s symbols – police, army etc
I guess I will have to prove my SPIRIT OF BOMBAY IN SAY 6 HOURS FROM NOW……
Karkare,
Kamte
Silaskar
All dead
Another senior officer injured
@Jiggs,
They will never let us be in peace. It’s been going on for 800 years and we keep giving. This emboldens them further
Papistan will see blowback. And Dhaka will also get a special bonus, I predict.
Time to set our intell agents all out in these sh1tholes. Lay them asunder, no mercy! Target key infrastructure, key mullahs and key institutions in izloo.
Hospitals, bus and rail stations, airports, mosques, offices and classrooms – nothing in Papistan should be safe anymore!
Hi All,
Terror attacks in Mumbai; 80 dead, over 300 injured
Latest Report
ATS cheif (Anti-terrorist squad) Hemant Karkare killed in the attack
Deccan Mujaahedeen takes the responsibility…
man…the Taj is completely blacked out….the whole gateway of india area has been blacked out
Can anybody provide us, perhaps the moderator, how many HIndus had to die in serial bomb blasts across the nation, in the last 4 plus years? And how many thousands maimed? Such a list must be prepared and publised, so that common masses wake up.
Note, this attack and killing will not deter Congress from their vote-banks. It hardly matters to Congress and its leaders. For them, power must stay with them at any costs. Indira to present regime, same brand of barbarians in Congress. Puppet Singh will ask Hindus to maintain communal harmony, as it is communal harmony problem. Perhaps already asked.
All patriots and nationalists must unite to save the nation from this grave danger. Slogan must be Remove Congress-UPA, save Bharat and Our Future Generations.
the mumbai ATS was so busy trying to implicate hindus the islamic jihadis crawled right up their ass!
this is really shameful, i just get the feeling that after the attack things might get even uglier
At least 80 people were dead and over 300 injured in the terror attacks, hospital sources said.
ATS chief Hemant Karkare was killed during attacks in the financial city. Additional Commissioner Ashok Tampte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar died at attack in Metro Cinema.
To my friends here: very upsetting to see innocent people getting killed or injured for daring to live their lives freely…
But what will really upset me: Announcements by PM about “remaining calm”, and then Sagarika Ghose and the like talking about Mumbai-ites and their “resilience”. Or maybe blame the BJP…claming it was orchestrated for the elections this week.
Big funding and training behind this atatck
Janpar….
I am to show my fuggin resilience in 6 hours from now, I feel a GUWAHATI kind of response is called for.
And if these terrorist pigs turn out to be muslims, expect the unofficial barrier between communities to go up even more.
Which kaafir in his right mind now would now rent premises to a muslim, even if the latter is a bona fide citizen and a decent person otherwise? Which kafir now will not hink at the back of his head every time he comes across a muslim in work or after work ‘ better to keep a distance’? This will certainly rise in Mumbai at least.
I am sorry, people get the governance they voted for. Vote for terror loving UPA and die!
@Sud,
These pigs are mullahs
Commies in kerala and bengal also responsible to train and feed Jihadis… nowadays Kerala is the safe haven of Terrorists due to the support of its Home Minister and the Abdul nassar Madani Team.. kaangress & commies party should be banned in India.

Hemant Karkare, Maharashta Police’s Anti-Terrorism Squad chief, and two of his officers were killed in the terrorist attack in Mumbai on Thursday.
Karkare, 54, was killed in a shootout with terrorists at the Taj Mahal Hotel where terrorists have taken at least 15 people hostage.
Additional commissioner Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Saluskar were killed in a shootout with terrorists at Metro Cinema.
Karkare, a 1982 batch IPS officer, had returned to his state cadre after a seven-year tenure with the Research and Analysis Wing, Indian external intelligence agency, in Austria. His death is likely to affect the probe into the Malegaon blast.
IANS reports that there were six other police officials among the dozens killed in the coordinated terror attacks late Wednesday night.
