Ten Simultaneous Terror Attacks Across Mumbai (Bombay), India Leave Over 100 Dead, Hundreds Injured or Missing

Rather than attempt to keep you up to date on the events unfolding in Mumbai, India, India's financial and population capital, I will use this space to direct readers to the frequently updated Wikipedia page on this event. That page appears to contain the most up-to-date reporting on the ongoing events related to the terror attacks in India, which have killed top police officials as well as scores of innocent citizens and foreign nationals.

The photo at the top of this post, linked through the above Wikipedia link, shows an allegedly terrorist involved in the attack on a Mumbai rail station, and was taken by a surveillance camera outside the railway station which was attacked by gunfire and hand grenades, leaving ten dead.

While the terrorists reportedly were searching for those bearing U.S. or British passports, the U.S. State Department reports that there were no immediate reports of U.S. casualties in the attacks.

Additional updates on the Lede blog at the New York Times, and at the English-language website of the Times of India.
