The hostages taken part was something I just found out through other news. This is ongoing, and the story is evolving. It sounds a lot like last summer’s attack, and they are saying this Indian Mujahadeen. The attacks are focused on Westerners. Some reports are even saying 40 are dead, and there are several attacks going on simultaneously. –Head Jundi
Edit: At least 78 dead according to Indian media, Decan Mujahadeen are claiming responsibility.

Police ringed the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Trident and Oberoi hotels and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in the south of the city, NDTV reported. Two terrorists were said to be inside the Trident Hotel, in the financial district of Nariman Point, Times TV said.
“Some terrorist incidents are happening, some grenades were lobbed,” A.N. Roy, director general of police for Maharashtra state, said in a telephone interview. “Give us some time to get a clearer picture.”
