On November 26, 2008 terrorists attacked eleven sites in Mumbai, India's largest city. The attacks lasted three days, killed over 170 people and injured 308. The gunmen focused on South Mumbai, attacking the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, the Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, Chhatrapati Shivajo Terminus, Oberoi Trident, the Metro Cinema and Nariman House. There were bombs detonated at the cities ports and a taxi explosion in the Vile Parle suburb.
Mumbai police secured ten of eleven sites by November 28. The Taj Mahal Palace was secured by India's National Security Guards on November 29, 2008. Mohammad Ajmal Amir was the only gunman captured alive and he told police that he and attackers were members of the militant group, Lashkar-e-Toiba. The Indian government stated that the attackers came from Pakistan and demanded that the government investigate.
Twenty days passed and violence was sequestered in India. Coverage of the attacks and the aftermath has been unique. The New York Times has all but deleted depictions of attacks since the 'resolution.' The Times covered news for New York and the paper struggled with digital competition, daily recession drudgery and bankruptcies. December 2008 was a month of national monetary morbidity with no room for international iconoclasts.
The Associated Press continued to cover developments in India and in Pakistan. There was an Indian outcry and the international press has paid close attention to what happened in the middle-east. The A.P. gave detail on other nations, what they did to facilitate comprehensive understanding of the attacks. American Senator, John Kerry traveled to Pakistan to meet with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. It was announced that Kerry was to President Elect Barack Obama's choice for Foreign Relations Committee Chairman.
The finger pointing in Pakistan has put packets of pressure over the nuclear-armed nation. Kerry met the Prime Minister to talk about American, Indian and British relations in hopes of finding clarity on "interservice intelligence."
