Description: "11/26/2008: At 9:00 p.m., at least ten college-aged male terrorists in two rubber dinghies traveled from a hijacked ship off shore and landed in Mumbai, where they went to ten public facilities (including a café, railway station, movie theatre, newspaper building, hospital, Jewish centre, backyard, and business and residential complex) and set off explosives and fired automatic weapons. The attacks and ensuing battles with Indian commandoes attempting to rescue several dozen Indian and Western hostages, killed at least 200 people and another 350 people were wounded, including two Canadians. Indian authorities expected these figures to increase as more bodies were discovered. The previously unknown Deccan Mujahideen claimed credit via an e-mail to India's news media. Indian authorities said that the two surviving terrorists were British citizens of Pakistani descent. However, other observes suggested Lashkar-i-Taiba and Jaish-i-Muhammed."
