A couple hours old now, but this story reports what several of us have discussed here on FR.

Initial eyewitness reports tallied to about 24 terrorists: 10 landed at one harbor/port near Mumbai; 8 at another port; perhaps 4 checked into the Taj a day before the attacks; and two were working as cooks (at least one at the Taj).

Separately there were other reports that 10 had been killed and 9 captured.

There was a "fog of war" going on in Mumbai over those 60 hours, but the concluding count of "10 terrorists" just doesn't add up nor does it seem plausible.

Also, there were reports of females accompanying some of the terrorists ( advance party?), that were buying food & liquor the day before the attack.

It makes sense that they would have somewhere in Mumbai to "go to ground". A city the size of Mumbai has insular Muslim neighborhoods sympathetic to the terrorists.

Another story on fox just caught my eye along a similar vein. Car Bomb Rips Through Pakistan Street, Killing Dozens; 'External Forces' Blamed Since those killed were Shiite and the Pakistanis were so quick to blame India, naturally I thought of the ISI. They want to try out the bombs on Hindus.

No guns in the hands of security in the train station, no guns in the hands of security in the hotels, and it would seem no surveillance cameras either.
