TERROR-ANNIVERSARY 2


Hundreds of people lined up at a blood donation camp
organised at the CST, where terrorists sprayed
indiscriminately sprayed bullets leaving 58 people, mostly
commuters, dead.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan was present
at the camp. Prayers were also held with porters, railway
workers and others offering flowers at a memorial.
CST was one of the first spots that Ajmal Kasab and his
associate Abu Ismail attacked on 26/11. Kasab is the lone
surviving terrorist arrested by the Mumbai police. The other
nine terrorists were killed by the security forces in the
6--hour operation.
Poignant scenes were witnessed at the Trident and Taj
hotels which bore the brunt of the terror attacks as people
recalled the nightmare.
For newly weds Amit and Varsha Thadani, a night of joy
turned out to be seven nerve-wrecking hours. As they were
receiving guests for the reception at the Taj, they were
confronted by the terrorists firing indiscriminately. The
scars of that day still remain etched in their memories as the
couple celebrate their one first wedding anniversary.
H R Shrinivas of the Taj group remembers a waiter
who braved the bullets to rescue many guests.
Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar says he went numb
watching the live telecast of the terror attacks which he
watched in the dressing room in Cuttack during their match
against England. "At first I thought they were showing a
movie..Things like this happening in India...in our own
Mumbai...I went numb for sometime".(MORE) PTI VMN
