3 5-Star hotels, Westerners taken hostage, 172 dead in India

This is pretty scary considering if you are a tourist in Mumbai, chances are pretty good you'd at least be in the near proximity of where this happened. The Taj is right next to the Gateway of India, and Leopold's is the center of the bustling tourist area (and would have been absolutely full during the time this happened with foreigners drinking). You can be sure a lot of the dead are foreigners.
 
The hostage situation is bad. The terrorists are gathering everyone in the hotel with American or British passports and gathering them in one area.

I hope this isn't the beginning of a worldwide attack. This all started at sundown there. What if the same thing happens here in the US tonight?

The coordinated nature of the attack strikes me as a hallmark of Al Qaeda. Or perhaps some affiliated Pakistani group . . .

Shit, so it isnt Sven and Ollie?

Just to give you an idea:

Leopold's Cafe: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VUg1huEv...c4ufZeUnU/P1040736.JPG (this scene is completely open to the sidewalk)
Victoria station: http://www.blackmonarch.com/tr...aEmirates/IMG_9525.JPG (actually would be more crowded at the hour of the attacks)

Yeah, cause with over a billion people living in India, it's not possible that they can have their own homegrown radicals.
