印度安全部队说,对那些在孟买发动多处袭击的武装伊斯兰激进分子的反击有所进展,但是强调说行动仍在进行之中。印度突击队员星期五说,他们掌控了奥拜罗三叉戟酒店,打死里面的两名激进分子,并解救出那些自从星期三遭到袭击后一直被困在酒店的人质。但是在泰姬陵大酒店和一个属于犹太人组织的大楼,战斗仍在进行。据信激进分子在两处都劫持了人质。几伙激进分子星期三晚间对金融首都孟买多处发动了前所未有、协调一致的系列袭击。至少140人丧生,300多人受伤。遇难者中有外国人和高级警方官员。有关当局表示,至少7名激进分子被打死。警方说,他们已经逮捕了若干人,其中包括3名怀疑是总部设在巴基斯坦的激进组织“虔诚军”的成员。
Indian security forces say they are making progress against heavily armed militants who have laid siege to Mumbai, but officials emphasize that operations are still under way. Indian commandos Friday reported they took control of the Oberoi-Trident hotel, killed two militants inside and freed hostages who had been trapped in the building since the attacks began Wednesday. But at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and a building belonging to a Jewish group, fighting is still going on. Militants are believed to be holding hostages at both locations. Beginning Wednesday, groups of attackers launched an unprecedented, highly coordinated series of attacks on multiple locations throughout the financial capital. At least 140 people have been killed and 300 wounded. Foreigners and high-ranking police are among the dead. Authorities say at least seven militants have been killed in the ongoing operations. Police say they have arrested several others, including three suspected members of the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
