MUMBAI: Terror struck the country's financial capital late on
Wednesday night as coordinate serial explosions and indiscriminate firing rocked
eight areas across Mumbai including the crowded CST railway station, two five
star hotels--Oberoi and
Taj-- leaving 16 persons dead and 50 injured.

Armed with AK-47 rifles
and grenades, a couple of terrorists entered the passenger hall of CST and
opened fire and threw grenades, Mumbai General
Railway Police Commissioner A K Sharma said.


The terror strike which began at 10:33 PM at Chhatrapathi Shivaji Terminus(CST)
, formerly known as the Victoria
Terminus(VT) , claimed 10 lives in the premises of the station alone, police
said.

Three persons were killed in a bomb explosion in a taxi on
Mazegaon dockyard road and an equal number were gunned down at Taj Hotel. The
victims in the hotel were its employees.

The lobby of the Oberoi hotel was on fire and the hotel evacuated,
eyewitnesses said.

Maharashtra DGP A N
Roy said tonight's attack in "at least seven places" is a "terror strike."


Sharma said 30 persons were injured in the CST incident. Commandoes were
rushed to the CST which wore a deserted look and train services suspended.


Some people were injured in the firing in Oberoi hotel, and taken to a nearby
hospital in police
vans and ambulance. Firing was also reported in Taj hotel.

Firing was
reported at Colaba, Nariman Point and near
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal, formerly Victoria
Terminus and it was still continuing.

Firing was also reported at
Cama Hospital in south Mumbai, police said, adding that a blast was reported in
a taxi under a flyover in suburban Vile Parle. A
bomb went off in a taxi in Mazegaon dockyard road.

SRPF personnel then
entered the iconic BMC building -- just opposite CST -- to take aim at the
assailants, BMC commissioner Jairaj Phatak
said. "We fear some of the assailants are still inside the station and we want
to catch them if they come out," a police official said.

Vikhroli police
station senior inspector Habib Ansari was on his way to work from his Colaba
home when he saw two armed men, with sophisticated weaponry, trying to run into
bylanes near the Gateway of India.

"I rushed back to Colaba and all
policemen, including GRP and RPF personnel, were called up," he added.


Bhisham Mansukhani, a journalist, was attending a wedding reception at
the Taj's Crystal Room. "I was inside the bar when glass shards almost hit my
eye," he said. "More than 200 people were escorted inside Chambers, a business
centre inside the hotel," he added.
