Mayhem in Mumbai
By Preeti Aroon

Posted December 2008
Drifting in on inflatable boats, 10 young men brought India’s largest city to its knees in a 60-hour siege last month. But, Mumbai, the country’s financial capital, has been quick to get back on its feet and resume business as usual.

A tragedy reflected: Along with several other well-known tourist hubs, Mumbai’s majestic Taj Mahal Palace & Tower hotel became killing fields when terrorists attacked them on Wed., Nov. 26. The assailants fired remorselessly at civilians, rounding many up for execution. When the carnage was over, more than 170 people were dead. Here, an Indian soldier stands guard outside the besieged Taj on Nov. 29.
