I am actually from Mumbai (moved to Canada 10 years ago) and have lots of relatives living there including my brother and my whole family is really concerned since we haven't been able to get a hold of him. We have got hold of some of our family members from there and the others we are still trying to get a hold of. This is a very well organized attack on several parts of the city. At the Taj Hotel, which is like the main luxury hotel in Mumbai, there have been 7 blasts inside the hotel so far and they have suspected 20 people held hostage. They have hostages also at another luxury hotel, The Oberoi and also in Cama Hospital they have held hostages and they have apparently killed 2 of the hostages so far.
This is just terrible news even if its "not your backyard"
Edit: Just got a hold of my brother living there and he said its absolute chaos in the city. The Indian Army has been deployed to try and get a hold of the situation.
