孟买恐怖袭击剧烈震荡印度

A series of attacks carried out by Islamic terrorists over Nov 26th to 29th wrecked the Indian city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay). The attackers, all young Pakistani men, entered the city in small boats, spreading out to carry out targeted attacks against several sites, including railway stations and Western hotels. They also assassinated specific individuals, such as several high-level police officers. They used a variety of weapons, including grenades, explosives, and assault rifles, killing more than 195 people and wounding hundreds more.

11月26日至29日伊斯兰恐怖分子制造多起恐怖袭击重击印度孟买（曾名Bombay）。袭击者全是巴基斯坦青年，他们乘船抵达孟买，有针对性地分散到不同区域发动袭击，包括火车站和该城西部的一些酒店。他们还暗杀个别人士，如几名高级警官。他们使用了多种武器，包括手榴弹、炸药、突击步枪，造成超过195人丧生数百人受伤。

Indian authorities responded to the crisis as quickly as they could, but the attackers holed up, took hostages, and were able to fight off the Indian police and army for two more days. The last terrorists were killed or captured on Monday 28th, after they had murdered six hostages in the city's Jewish centre. The diplomatic fallout from the attacks, which the Indian government blames on Pakistan's encouragement of Islamic terrorists, led to threats of open war from both sides. With both countries armed with nuclear weapons, other nations intervened to calm things as best they could, but relations between the two countries are at their lowest point in years.

印度当局面对袭击迅速做出反应，但袭击者却挟持人质躲藏起来，并与印度警方和军队进行了长达两天多的激战。最后一批恐怖分子在该城犹太人中心杀死六名人质，于当地时间28日被击毙或抓获。印度政府指责巴基斯坦暗地支持发动袭击的伊斯兰恐怖分子，袭击导致的外交后果是两国将可能发动战争。由于两国都拥有核武器，其它国家极力进行调解使双方冷静，但两国关系已经落到几年中的最低点。
