The Siege

On the night of November 26, 2008, Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists attacked targets throughout Mumbai, 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. In the end, thirty-one people were dead and hundreds more injured. Courageous actions of guests and staff prevented a much higher death toll.
