The Taj Mahal Palace Attack | 26/11



On November 26, 2008, India experienced one of its most horrific terror attacks in its history. The coordinated attacks targeted the iconic Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai, India, and other locations around the city. This attack, now known as the 26/11 attack, was carried out by 10 members of the Pakistani-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attack on the Taj Mahal Palace began at about 9:30 PM local time. The terrorists’ goal was to take hostages, and they quickly succeeded in doing so. They took control of the hotel and held more than 160 people hostage. Over the next three days, the terrorists engaged in a standoff with Indian security forces. During this time, they set off multiple bombs and went on a shooting rampage, killing more than 160 people and injuring hundreds more. The attack on the Taj Mahal Palace was particularly devastating due to its iconic status. The hotel has been a symbol of wealth and opulence in India for generations and is considered a symbol of Indian pride. The attack was a direct assault on the country’s sense of pride and security. The 26/11 attack was a wake-up call for India and other countries around the world to address the threat of terrorism. India has since taken steps to strengthen its security measures, including the deployment of the National Security Guard (NSG), a specialized unit of the Indian Armed Forces tasked with responding to terror attacks. The 26/11 attack is a reminder of the devastating effects of terrorism. It is a stark reminder of the need to be vigilant in the fight against terrorism and the importance of working together to create a safer world.
