NSG Launched-final assault at the Trident hotel

According to latest reports all terrorists have been killed at Taj hotel and the encounter is over. NSG commandoes have now launched their final assault at the Trident hotel where fire has been reported on the top floor.

Earlier on Thursday, fresh blasts rocked Oberoi-Trident and Taj hotel. Security forces had launched a major counter-offensive against the militants holed up in various installations across the city.

Combined forces of National Security Guards (NSGs), Navy, Army, Mumbai Police and Anti-Terrorist Squad have been rushed to tackle an unknown number of militants hiding in various locations across the city.

Police said no more hostages were in Nariman House. However, the police added that two-three terrorists were suspected to be inside Nariman House.

All the security personnel, armed with sophisticated weapons and communication equipments were put in strategic locations in all the three sites and are coordinating with each other.

About 40 of them are also believed to be taken as hostages by the militants and are being shifted from one floor to the other frequently.

Militants have opened fire on the eighth floor of the Trident hotel in Mumbai, which is still under their siege. One terrorist has been caught alive from the Trident hotel by the commandos, reports say.

Around 10-12 terrorists are still holed up in the Trident hotel and have taken many hostage. Some of them are Israeli and Canadian nationals. Seven people have been rescued from the Trident, two have been brought out on stretchers.

More than 100 people have been killed so far, including nine foreigners and at least 327 injured in a series of well-coordinated terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

Terrorists, who apparently came in by boats, struck at 10 places in south Mumbai including five-star hotels, hospitals and train stations.
