The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a series of ten coordinated terrorist attacks across
Mumbai,
India's financial capital and its largest city. The attacks, carried out by a
Pakistan-based Islamic terrorist group using automatic weapons and grenades began on 26 November 2008 and ended on 29 November 2008. At least 173 people were killed and at least 308 were injured in the attacks. However, a Pakistani official claimed in February 2009 that Pakistan's internal investigations had produced evidence that the attack had been planned in Bangladesh.
Eight of the attacks occurred in
South Mumbai: at
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the
Oberoi Trident, the
Taj Mahal Palace & Tower,
Leopold Cafe,
Cama Hospital, the Orthodox Jewish-owned
Nariman House, the
Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building behind
St. Xavier's College. There was also an explosion at the
Mazagaon docks in Mumbai's port area, and a taxi blast at
Vile Parle.
By the early morning of 28 November, all sites except for the Taj Mahal Palace had been secured by
Mumbai Police and security forces. An action by India's
National Security Guards on 29 November resulted in the conclusion of the Taj Mahal Palace encounter, ending all fighting in the attacks.
