Commando operation on in Taj Hotel; Oberoi Hotel cleared

Updated at: 1807 PST, Friday, November 28, 2008 MUMBAI: Commandos ended a siege of the luxury Oberoi hotel on Friday while other forces rappelled from helicopters to storm a besieged Jewish center, two days after a chain of militant attacks across India's financial center left at least 143 people dead and the city in panic. While explosions and gunfire continued intermittently at the elegant Taj Mahal hotel Friday afternoon, officials said commandos had killed the two last gunmen inside the nearby Oberoi. ``The hotel is under our control,'' J.K. Dutt, director general of India's elite National Security Guard commando unit, told reporters, adding that 24 bodies had been found. Dozens of people – including a man clutching a baby – had been evacuated from Oberoi earlier Friday. The airborne assault on the center run by the ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch was punctuated by gunshots and explosions – and at one point an intense exchange of fire that lasted several minutes – as forces cleared it floor by floor, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene. By Friday afternoon, the commandos had control of the top two floors. One camouflaged commando came out with a bandage on his forehead, while soldiers fired smoke grenades into the building and a steady stream of gunfire reverberated across narrow alleys. Israel's ambassador to India, Mark Sofer, said they believed there were up to nine hostages inside. Their fate was not clear. Sofer denied reports that Israeli commandos were taking part in the operation. Moshe Holtzberg, a 2-year-old who was smuggled out of the center by an employee, is now with his grandparents. His grandfather told Israel Radio on Friday that he had no news of Moshe's parents. More than 143 people were killed and 288 injured when suspected Islamic militants attacked 10 sites in Mumbai starting Wednesday evening. Security officials said their operations were almost over. ``It's just a matter of a few hours that we'll be able to wrap up things,'' Lt. Gen. N. Thamburaj told reporters Friday morning. The group rescued from the Oberoi, many holding passports, included at least two Americans, a Briton, two Japanese nationals and several Indians. Some carried luggage with Canadian flags. One man in a chef's uniform was holding a small baby. About 20 airline crew members were freed, including staff from Lufthansa and Air France. ``I'm going home, I'm going to see my wife,'' said Mark Abell, with a huge smile on his face after emerging from the hotel. Abell, from Britain, had locked himself in his room during the siege. ``These people here have been fantastic, the Indian authorities, the hotel staff. I think they are a great advertisement for their country,'' he said as security officials pulled him away. The well-coordinated strikes by small bands of gunmen starting Wednesday night left the city shell-shocked. Late Thursday, after about 400 people had been brought out of the Taj hotel, officials said it had been cleared of gunmen. But Friday morning, army commanders said that while three gunmen had been killed, two to three more were still inside with about 15 civilians. A few hours after that, Thamburaj, the security official, said at least one gunman was still alive inside the hotel and had cut of electricity on the floor where he was hiding. Shortly after that announcement, another round of explosions and gunfire were heardcoming from the hotel. Earlier Friday, Pakistan's Defense Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, in Islamabad, denied involvement by his country: ``I will say in very categoric terms that Pakistan is not involved in these gory incidents.'' The gunmen were well-prepared, apparently scouting some targets ahead of time and carrying large bags of almonds to keep up their energy. ``It's obvious they were trained somewhere ... Not everyone can handle the AK series of weapons or throw grenades like that,'' an unidentified member of India's Marine Commando unit told reporters, his face wrapped in a black mask. He said the men were ``very determined and remorseless'' and ready for a long siege. One backpack they found had 400 rounds of ammunition inside. He said the Taj was filled with terrified civilians, making it very difficult for the commandos to fire on the gunmen. ``To try and avoid civilian casualties we had to be so much more careful,'' he said, adding that hotel was a grim sight. ``Bodies were strewn all over the place, and there was blood everywhere.'' A U.S. investigative team was heading to Mumbai, a State Department official said Thursday evening, speaking on condition of anonymity because the U.S. and Indian governments were still working out final details. These attacks were more sophisticated and more brazen. They began at about 9:20 p.m. with shooters spraying gunfire across the Chhatrapati Shivaji railroad station, one of the world's busiest terminals. For the next two hours, there was an attack roughly every 15 minutes _ the Jewish center, a tourist restaurant, one hotel, then another, and two attacks on hospitals. There were 10targets in all. Indian media showed pictures of rubber dinghies found by the city's shoreline, apparently used by the gunmen to reach the area. Both the luxury hotels targeted overlook the Arabian Sea. A previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility in e-mails to several media outlets. Survivors of the hotel attacks said the gunmen had specifically targeted Britons and Americans, though most of the dead seemed to be Indians and whoever else was caught in the random gunfire. One of the gunmen ``stopped once and asked, 'Where are you from? Any British or American? Show your ID,'' Alex Chamberlain, a Britishcitizen dining at the Oberoi, told reporters. Among the dead were two Australians and a Japanese, said the state home ministry. An Italian, a Briton and a German were also killed, according to their foreign ministries. The United States, Pakistan and other countries condemned the attack

Rapist-Father-Jailed-for-Life

A British man who raped his daughters and fathered nine children by them has been jailed for life.

The man will be jailed for a minimum of 19-and-a-half years

The 56-year-old man repeatedly raped his daughters, who between them went through 19 pregnancies, Sheffield Crown Court heard.

The campaign started when the women were aged between eight and 10. If they refused their father's advances,they were badly beaten.

Judge Alan Goldsack QC ordered the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to serve 25 life sentences that will run concurrently.

He said the minimum term the rapist should serve in jail should be 19-and-a-half years.

Judge Goldsack said: "The phrase 'it is difficult to imagine a worse case' is much overused and rarely, if ever, true. I am not going to say no case of rape within a family situation will ever come to light."

Hannah-Foster-Raped-and-Killed

Recent News : A van driver has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years for the "appalling" abduction, rape and murder of Southampton student Hannah Foster.

Victim Hannah and her killer who fled to India

Maninder Pal Singh Kohli, 41, attacked the 17-year-old as she walked home alone from a night out with friends.

Winchester Crown Court heard how the killer from India bundled her into his sandwich delivery van, then raped and strangled her.

Mr Justice Keith, sentencing, said his crime was aggravated by "Hannah's vulnerability as a young slip of a girl, the terrible and appalling ordeal which Hannah must have gone through... and the unimaginable grief to which you have subjected her family".

British-Couple-Found-having-Sex-on-Dubai-Beach

Most Recent News : Two Britons convicted of having sex on a beach in Dubai have avoided going to jail - but will be deported.

Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors deny the charges

Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors were each handed three-month sentences last month after being convicted of public indecency and having unmarried sex.

They were released on bail while they appealed.

A judge has now ruled that while the sentences still stand, they are to be suspended.

Sky's Dominic Waghorn, reporting from Dubai, said: "The court's ruling means that Palmer and Acors will not serve time in jail unless they commit another crime in the next three years.

"However they will be deported immediately and ordered to pay a fine of around £200 each."

Speaking afterwards, Palmer, 36, of Oakham, said: "It just proves our innocence after all the bad stuff that was written. That's it."

Couple will be deported from Dubai

Hassan Matter, who represented the couple in court, said: "The judge has cancelled the jail. He refused the prosecution appeal.

"They are free. It's wonderful.

"The judge gave us a good hearing because he has a good heart and a good brain. He understood everything."

Palmer and Acors were not the only ones to appeal in the case.

Prosecutors did too, claiming their sentence was too lenient.

However, Dubai's Court of Appeal decided not to increase the three-month terms.

The Britons were caught cavorting on the beach by police after attending a Friday brunch.

Brunches are all day affairs in Dubai where people pay a fixed amount to be able to eat and drink at will.

Dominic Waghorn found little sympathy for the couple among many locals and expatriates.

"You come to a country and you really need to respect the terms and conditions of that country," filmmaker Mohammed Saeed Harib told Sky News.

"And I'm sure that every expat that comes here knows that."

Google-Search-Now-Will-Hear-You !!!

SAN FRANCISCO — Pushing ahead in the decades-long effort to get computers to understand human speech, Google researchers have added sophisticated voice recognition technology to the company’s search software for the Apple iPhone.

Google’s voice search software works only with iPhones, but the company plans to make it available to other phones.

Users of the free application, which Apple is expected to make available as soon as Friday through its iTunes store, can place the phone to their ear and ask virtually any question, like “Where’s the nearest Starbucks?” or “How tall is Mount Everest?” The sound is converted to a digital file and sent to Google’s servers, which try to determine the words spoken and pass them along to the Google search engine.

The search results, which may be displayed in just seconds on a fast wireless network, will at times include local information, taking advantage of iPhone features that let it determine its location.

The ability to recognize just about any phrase from any person has long been the supreme goal of artificial intelligence researchers looking for ways to make man-machine interactions more natural. Systems that can do this have recently started making their way into commercial products.
