US is 1.4 million.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-8626035093645765202013-11-28T12:02:41.789+11:002013-11-28T12:02:41.789+11:00The lesson from this attack is that a few well-arm...The lesson from this attack is that a few well-armed and trained warriors are difficult to defeat.<br /><br />It makes huge armies seem rather futile. <br /><br />Hopefully the U.S. will take note!<br /><br />Cheers.david ghttp://www.dangerouscreation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-87357259473142570822013-11-27T15:01:16.563+11:002013-11-27T15:01:16.563+11:00Thanks Kumar

The fidayeens displayed superior tactics like trained army commandos and that made the difference.Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571503236070897848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-70363433400804741152013-11-27T11:07:34.529+11:002013-11-27T11:07:34.529+11:00Thanks Kumar

It indicates how quickly events developed. <br /><br />The terrorists carefully planned the attack and exploited opportunities to make it appear that they were a larger force.<br /><br />This must have made the response all the more difficult.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19245896.post-80213123377521887652013-11-26T23:06:49.247+11:002013-11-26T23:06:49.247+11:00Hi Pete

The duo took the ambushed jeep and en route fired near Metro Cinema junction. They forcibly took over a car of a businessman and drove along Marine Drive where they ran into a police picket and in the ensuing firefight Kasab was captured alive and his buddy killed. <br /><br />The terrorists who fired at Leopold Cafe were the ones who entered Taj and were engaged by the NSG and neutralised; possibly another two or three entered Nariman House and another team entered Oberoi-Trident.Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571503236070897848noreply@blogger.com
