The 2008 Mumbai attacks, also known as 26/11, were a series of terrorist attacks that took place in November 2008.

10 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, an extremist Islamist organisation based in Pakistan, carried out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing.

The dreadful night of 26/11 has been etched in the memories of Mumbaikars.

The attacks, which drew widespread global condemnation, began on Wednesday 26 November and lasted until Saturday 29 November 2008.

At least 174 people died, including 9 attackers, and more than 300 were wounded.

Eight of the attacks occurred in Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai Chabad House, The Oberoi Trident, The Taj Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital, The Nariman House, the Metro Cinema, lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.

There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at Vile Parle.

On 29 November, India's National Security Guards (NSG) conducted Operation Black Tornado to flush out the remaining attackers.

The Government of India stated that the attackers came from Pakistan, and their controllers were in Pakistan.

On 9 April 2015, the foremost ringleader of the attacks, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, was released on bail and disappeared.

Kasab was one of the terrorist who killed 72 people during the Mumbai attack. He was the only attacker captured alive by police.

Tukaram Omble was the man who helped in capturing Kasab alive, taking 40+ bullets in his chest.
