The 26/11 attacks were among the most brazen, audacious and gruesome acts of terror ever witnessed. Ten terrorists belonging to the Pakistan-based-and-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), egged on by a cocktail of handlers comprising their LeT bosses and serving officers of the Pakistani Army operating out of a control room in Karachi, unleashed burst after burst of gunfire and explosions at several different locations in downtown Mumbai. The terrorists finally besieged a high-end hotel and held hundreds of hostages there for three days. Over those three days the terrorists went from room to room, indiscriminately killing whoever they could find. At the end of the nightmare, 166 innocent people had died, as had 9 of the attackers, and more than 300 people were wounded. Among those killed and injured were nationals of countries such as the United States (US) and Israel.
