I don't know where to post it but I normally post in just in this forum so posting here.
26 Nov 2008 will always be remembered as black day for India as its one of biggest and unfortunate attacks India went through.
Brief summary of the incidents -

- As attackers Kasab and Khan head
away from the Chhatrapati Shivaji
Terminus railway station, they
encounter a police barricade with a
large crowd gathered. They fire from
their vehicle, killing approximately 10
people.
- They are intercepted by police near
Chowpatty Beach. In the ensuing
firefight, a police officer and attacker
Ismail Khan are killed. Kasab is
captured after being shot in the hand,
about 3.5 hours after the attacks
began.
Nariman House:
- The second site attacked, at
approximately 9:30 p.m. on November
26.

House, run by the Jewish Chabad
Lubavitch movement, a neighboring
gas station is blown up. This draws

windows, where attackers fire upon
them.
