On November 26, 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists arrived by sea route and opened fire indiscriminately at people, killing 166 including 18 security personnel, and injuring several others, besides damaging property worth crores.
The attack had begun on 26 November and lasted until 29 November. Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, the Nariman House Jewish community centre were some of the places targeted by the terrorists.
