As of now (midnight in California) there is 101 dead with over 300 injured. I do believe that there is still some hostages but most have been freed.

A lot of the images and reports on CNN International are just awful and scary.

My prayers and thoughts are with the people of India and all who have to live with terrorism.

There isn't much more to say than this.

It's a terrible tragedy. I have family who live in Mumbai and the 'phoned us to let us know they are all ok. I was at the Taj Hotel and The Gateway Of India exactly two years ago.
What made this worse is that the terrorists were seeking British and Americans people. Bush and Blair sure made the world a more dangerous place for us.
With every mistake we must surely be learning.

This is so sad. I feel terrible that these people were searching for British and American people and of course that so many people were hurt and killed.

It's been reported, but not confirmed, that up to seven of the terrorists are British born Pakistanis. If this is the case I hope the Indian soldiers blast them away on a one-way trip to Allah because if they survive, the British government will be more concerned with their Human rights.

I think killing them is way to easy. No remorse and, more importantly, no reasons for why they did what they did. We need more answers than we do more killing.

As for the comments about their mothers all I can say are two things: 1) their mother, or parents, could be the best ever but children will still go their own ways and 2) in the middle east the fathers are just as revered, if not moreso, as the mother. In many of the middle eastern cultures, women still walk behind the men.

From what I've heard one terrorist has survived and is pleading for doctors to save his life. He's also talking a lot. Mybe some answers will come from him as to why this happened.
