Two British-born Pakistanis were among eight gunmen arrested by Indian authorities following the Mumbai massacre. An explosive gun battle is now taking part as commandos attempt to take back the Taj hotel.
Indian commandos are locked in a standoff with terrorists at two locations in Mumbai as the battle to save hostages intensifies.
The siege is continuing at the Taj Mahal hotel in the city, which has been brought to its knees by two days of gun battles after terrorists went on the rampage.
Shots are ringing out from the building and the terrorists have even fired at the world's media outside, injuring two people.

“They” are shooting at media types. That suggests they’re on their own, or are intent on martyrdom ~ the leadership in the international Islamofascist movement KNOWS the media are on their side.
You can not trust AP coverage of events.
Activists of Hindu racial organisation Vishwa Hindu Parishad shout slogans as they burn an effigy depicting Islamic Jihad
So how many gunmen are involved in this caper?

Everything I learned about Islamic Jihad, I learned on Sept 11,2001.
I don't think they know yet, how many of the gunman have escaped from detection has yet to be discovered yet .. in Mumbai.
It may just be a breakdown in terrorist discipline, or they may figure if they can add some reporters to their death toll then they’ll get even more media coverage. But you’re right, it does seem odd for terrorists to lapse and forget that Media types are usually on their side.
> Two British-born Pakistanis
What’s a “British-born Pakistani”? Is that a brit who emigrated to pakistan and accepted citizenship?
Some how, I don’t think so.
Two British Born Pakistanis... I guess that should be Pakistani-British Citizens.... you know the hyphenated citizens of Britain.
It’s an offspring of a Paki, who was born in Britain, but went to Pakistan later in life.
That’s right. And they never assimilated, suck off the system, go back to Pakistan to ‘visit’ (get terrorist training), and attack the very democracies that have fed, clothed, housed, and educated them.
Given the number of terrorist involved, it could be that some of them were already in place, by virtue of their UK passports, and were waiting for the over the beach people with guns and ammo. Hence the bags containing more than one gun etc. It is no problem for a UK passport holder to enter India..regardless of race or religion.
This type of attack is hard to defend against.
Londonistan is exporting their problems on a world that still trusts the Brits.
After they extract every bit of information they can from these scum, then force their jaws open and pour molten lead down their throats.
“...and the terrorists have even fired at the world’s media outside, injuring two people.”
Which reaction to that comment should I have?:
1) Oh, no, not that! We can’t have that! Just like Al Qaeda was just fine until they called Obama a racial slur!
OR
2) Finally the terrorists are firing on those who aren’t so innocent!
As long as they don't waterboard them (sarcasm)
The last I read said about 25.
