Default Why millitants targeted hotels?

By the time you all must be aware of the panic situation in Mumbai. 101 have been declared Dead while around 300 have been injured.

But the Question is why the militants choose big Hotel like Taj and Oberoi...
Actually this is kind of a double edged blade...they are attacking the people, the economy of India as well as damaging the reputation of in India in front of the whole world.

Miliatants knew that Big places like Taj and Oberoi are always flooded with Foreign Tourists, guest and VIP official members. The situation is really worse. For sure it will put a bad effect on the indian Economy.


Results are in front of us, England Cricket board has cancelled their tour to India which is a big shame for the country...The next major tournament Champions League is also underneath the Black clouds. Many of flight have been cancelled or delayed for unknown hours. Stock Market did not open today and I am sure when it will open tomorrow it will open with a Red mark...which is even worse.

Commandos from Delhi have been asked to visit Mumbai as soon as possible. Meanwhile some militants flew away two of the Police vehicles two of them took the Police Jeep and others a Police Qualis. Situation is really getting worse. According to the latest updates around 4 militants and around 40 people are inside the hotel Taj.

This terrorist attack is certainly different from others... Terrorists targeted elite crowd this time including foreigners... Earlier their target used to be random... Normal public at normal places... I'm sure this one origins are in our neighboring country... Who don't wanna see our economy progress...

I think the basic purpose behind this attack is to spread terror in India and to dammage our economy. Still i am really not sure if any neighbor country is involved in this or not.

neighbour county is involved..yesterday police found one mobile phone which polices claims that is of one of the militants...the no. belongs to the neighbouring country.

There was a BREAKING NEWS on channel about the open firing on CBT station (Chhaterpati Shivaji Terminal)...of course channels like IBN were highlighting very confidentely while the CNBC claims its a false alarm. but video shows that it was definately a panic situation...people were running on the platform...Comandos took their position...but it was believed to be rumour..

One more threating news was the firing near RBI...which really horrifies the scenario...I mean they are now firing openly on streets...

this is terrible...

Meanwhile I learnt that the Taj Hotel is more than 100 years old!!!

Is is someway related to Ratan Tata??

No, of course not. You dont need to wake up an entire country to assassinate a single person.( If that is what you meant ).

Terrorists want terror spread everywhere, its happens in business buildings, trains, buses and this time it was a hotel!

The hotels which were targeted were 5 star hotels, where only celebs, high profile people go. Before it was only ordinary people on the streets who travel by bus, taxi or walk!
But this time it was the rich people!

(i personally think that because the rich were targeted and know what it is like, that maybe something will be done, where as before it was ordinary people and only they knew what it was like, but they did not have the power or voice which can be heard)
