At least 80 killed in Mumbai terrorist attacks

Published by jodapoet at 1:10 pm under News, Writing Edit This

I was watching All My Children when they broke in with the news that there were seven separate and simultaneous terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.  I was sickened, angry and afraid.  I have friends living there and have yet to be able to contact them.  Some of the major tourist hotels such as the Taj Mahal were targeted and as of right now there are people being held hostage.  Know one knows if this was Al Qaeda sponsored though it is their method of operation.  As of now there have been 80 people killed and the video and pictures are just horrific.  It’s also been reported that there is much activity with terrorist groups these past weeks including a plot to hit the New York City subway system.  It’s very tragic and upsetting.  I guess all I can do right now is pray that my friends are okay and that there are no more lives taken as a result of these attacks.

    I hope your friends are ok. It’s always sad hearing about things like this. Such a shame.

    Yes it is a real tragedy there. I have heard from one of my friends who is fine so I was thrilled with that news.
