Gunmen who arrived by boats launched attacks on at least seven locations in Mumbai, India, on Wednesday night, killing more than 120 people, authorities say.
Indian soldiers take position outside Chabad House, the scene of one the Mumbai attacks.
By Friday morning, authorities believed militants still were in two luxury hotels and a Jewish center in the city.
The following is what is known about the attacks:
• Gunmen arrived by boats at the Mumbai waterfront near the Gateway of India monument on Wednesday night, police said. The gunmen hijacked cars, including a police van, and split into at least three groups to carry out the attacks, according to police.
• One group headed toward the Cafe Leopold, a popular hangout for Western tourists, firing indiscriminately at passers-by on the street. The group then opened fire and lobbed grenades at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station, authorities said.
• As police rushed to the scene of the attacks, gunmen attacked the Cama Hospital for women and infants. Several people were killed at the hospital, and a standoff there lasted until Thursday morning.
• Two other groups attacked the Oberoi and Taj Mahal hotels, taking hostages there, police said.
• Gunmen also took hostages at the Chabad House, where several Jewish families live, police said. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, the city's envoy for the community, was being held inside with his wife, a member of the Hasidic Jewish movement said. Gunmen and hostages still were believed to be in the house Friday morning.
• Police said gunmen fired indiscriminately from the Chabad House. Stray bullets killed a couple in their home and a 16-year-old boy who stepped outside, police said. Two women and a child escaped from the building Thursday, a government official says.
• At the hotels, hostages or people who were trapped left at various times Thursday and Friday. Commandos entered both hotels, trying to flush out militants and rescue others.
• By Friday 12:30 a.m. IT, one gunman remained in the Taj hotel, and two others remained at the Oberoi hotel, the director-general of the National Security Guards said. At 1 a.m., one gunman was killed at the Oberoi hotel, the official said. He said he couldn't say for sure how many gunmen were still at the Oberoi.
• An undetermined number of nonmilitants remained inside the hotels Friday morning, NSG director-general J.K. Dutt said. "There are some of them inside the rooms, and they are not prepared to open the doors," he said. "Probably they are fearing that it might not be an innocent."
• Fire brigades battled fires at both hotels. By early Friday, it appeared what had been a major fire at the Oberoi had been extinguished.
• By Friday morning, 125 had been killed in the attacks, including at least six foreigners, authorities said. An Italian and a Briton were among the confirmed dead. Another 327 people were wounded, including seven Britons, three Americans and two Australians.
• Authorities found 8 kilograms (17 pounds) of RDX, one of the most powerful kinds of military explosives, at a restaurant near the Taj, indicating that the attackers may have been planning more violence.
• The Indian navy, stepping up patrols on the country's western coast after the attack, was questioning the crew of the MV Alpha, a ship detained with the help of the Indian coast guard, British authorities said. The authorities said they believe the attackers' boats came from this ship, and that they believe the ship is from Karachi, Pakistan.
• Karachi police say they have no evidence the attackers departed from their city.
• Several Indian news outlets report a group called the Deccan Mujahideen e-mailed them to claim responsibility. Intelligence officials say little is known about the group. U.S. officials and security analysts say the sophistication of the attacks may indicate a more-established group is responsible.
• State media Press Trust of India, citing Union Cabinet Minister Kapil Sibal, reported the gunmen had worked for months to prepare, even setting up "control rooms" in the two luxury hotels that were targeted.

Hi Sam,
As I do not attend to television and tele-periodicals, already to some time, I only took knowledge of this lamentable episode through its message of the C.Crossing; I would also like to protest against this disloyal and not human being form that is the terror; I am not against the protest, I think that all we have the right of in placing them against a situation that in them seems arbitrary, but, exist other forms, more human beings and civilized to act; it will always have the way of the consensus; after all, in my agreement, until the ants, they have the right to exist, as well as us, “human” beings.
I am solidary to all of YOU!
Thanks my dear friend,Sam….
K&P

Thank you Sambuddha and Manashimaya for the painting 'Birds' and the notes: I think there is a terrorist everywhere moving freely within our own society, polluting the mind of people, with their actions, even holding a high rank in the office or posing as a leader and directly or indirectly killing men and women with their intended hidden actions.
I remember the brave-hearted Daniel Pearl and the missionaries killed in Orissa, I remember the ethnic riot in Manipur (1980) and Hindu-Muslim riot in Meerut (1985) I faced. I remember the Naxalite period when killing was reasoned for social revolution that never occurred. And I don't forget the mass killing that our parents witnessed during the partition of India. So it's a long history of killings in this peninsula, against which we have to stand and try hard to convince our Y-generation to become more tolerant and protest for human rights without the easiest practice of killing. But how much we will be able to do that is a question. Yet it is a never-ending process, and with Manashi and rest of the world we pray, "we shall overcome someday".
The Mumbai attack has affected the image of India globally, no doubt. But we Indians are much less secured in the hands of our political leaders and cadres, the terrorists inside our home.
Congratulating you for opening your show on the last Delhi-blast day. Our freedom of expression is never terrified by any sort of violence.
