The attack was carried out by 10 Pakistani terrorists, who entered the city via sea route. They continued to storm the city for nearly three days before being neutralised.
One of them, Ajmal Kasab was captured alive and was subsequently hanged after trial on November 21, 2012. The attack changed the way India dealt with the Pakistani terrorism and brought the two nuclear-armed neighbours on the brink of a war.
The attacks began on November 26, 2008 and lasted until November 29. The terrorists targetted the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Nariman House Jewish community centre.
The prime minister said that it was India’s strength to overcome the deadly attack. He said that “we are now crushing terrorism with full courage.”
