THE SIEGE : THE ATTACK ON THE TAJ
Mumbai, 2008. On the night of November 26, Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists attacked targets throughout the city, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, one of the world's most exclusive luxury hotels. For sixty-eight hours, hundreds were held hostage as shots rang out and an enormous fire raged. When the smoke cleared, thirty-one people were dead and many more had been injured. Only the courageous actions of staff and guests. . . including Mallika Jagad, Bob Nichols, and Taj general manager Binny Kang. . . prevented a much higher death toll.
