Terror at the Taj - 40 Hours

40 hours of terror at the Taj Mahal Hotel...continuous firing can be heard from within the hotel...some shots directed even at the worlds media crouched on lawns in front of the hotel.

Most newschannels say its a `mopping' exercise..indicating that its a clean up or the end of battle.

But from the exchange of fire..it at least doesn't sound like an end, yet.

Earlier, commandos rescued the Managing Director of the Taj Group of Hotels from one of the rooms, as well as many injured.

At the Oberoi Hotel police confirm many bodies have been found from the Tiffins restaurant.

That is one of the restaurants where terrorists had first entered and asked people with British and US passports to come with them.

One Congress politician Kapil Sibal says that the terrorists had made the two hotels their operational head-quarters for a month and that explains why they know the hotel so well.
