Israeli Hostages Killed in MumbaiBy Jay Colbe, submitted by Anonymous on سبت, 29/11/2008 - 04:18
![]() ![]() ![]() Reports from Mumbai indicate that 5 hostages are dead in the seige of the Mombai Chabad House. Today at Chabad House the Indian Jewish Community center- troops rappeled onto the roof from helicopters and the building was peppered with grenades as residents crowded surrounding rooftops to cheer on the attack. At one point troops were seen dangling what appeared to be a mannequin over the side of the building in an apparent attempt to get the terrorists to reveal themselves. Despite the blasts, militants inside continued to fire intensely at the advancing troops, until a huge blast rocked the building. The explosion was so powerful that debris flew off the sides of the building. A few more shots were exchanged before the building went quiet and searchlights could be seen moving through the house. People streamed into the streets singing. Indian media reported, however, that five hostages inside the building had died. The dead were not identified, but among those believed to be inside were American rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, and his wife, Rivka. A cook for the center had escaped earlier with the couple's 2-year-old son. The boy was unhurt, but his clothing was covered in blood. The cook said she last saw the couple lying on the floor unconscious. The militants, believed to number about 20 to 25, surged into Mumbai's fashionable downtown district on Wednesday firing indiscriminately into hospitals, a train station, a cafe and other sites before taking hostages and preparing for a fight to the death in the two hotels and the Chabad center. التعليقات |

An Indian security official says the bodies of five hostages have been recovered from the Chabad House Jewish center in Mumbai, as commandos continue to go through the building floor-by-floor.
In an interview on local television (NDTV) Friday, the director general of India's National Security Guards, J.K. Dutt, did not provide details about the deceased hostages' identities. He emphasized that operations are continuing at the building, and security forces have killed two terrorists there.
Israeli officials earlier said at least 10 Israelis were being held hostage at the Jewish center.
The U.S. State Department said Friday that two U.S. citizens were also killed in the attacks.
Indian security officials say they are making progress against heavily armed militants who have laid siege to Mumbai.
