The Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India, temporarily increased security after being warned of a possible terrorist attack, the chairman of the company that owns the hotel said today. The Taj was one of nine sites attacked by gunmen in a 60-hour wave of terror that killed at least 183 people and injured hundreds more.
An Indian official said the coordinated terrorist attacks that killed at least 183 people this week could have been much worse. "We found bullets with them, hand grenades, bombs," R.R. Patil, deputy chief minister of Maharashtra state, said. "We believe they had planned to kill 5,000 people."
Inside the blacked out Taj Mahal Hotel, hallways were littered with bloodied bodies. Gunmen had control, and were holding 200 people hostage. Every time the commandos got close, terrorists hurled grenades and sprayed bullets, forcing them back. Then finally, the special forces made it to the final firefight.
