In the last three days not only the Indians, people from all over the world are living the most unforgettable days in the world history. These three days are the black days in the Indian history. Yes, I hope that you people can get what I am trying to say through this post from the title itself. You all are right!!! Here I am going to discuss about the worst face of terrorism Mumbai Massacre 2008. By Thursday around 15 terrorists entered India(Mumbai) through some sea route and started to show their terror face at various places, then finally entered the famous hotels namely Taj and Oberoi. Many places have been hit by these worst attack in Mumbai like VT station, Nariman House and a hospital. So this seems to be a well planned game played by the terrorists against the Indians. But to say the truth Indians have failed to protect the citizens of India from the terror hands.
My point is if these terrorists are able to enter India with arms, grenades and so on means, then what the security officials are doing here? Here we should really have to question about the security system here. They attacked main places in Mumbai, so how far these important places are protected by our security system? Are we living safely in this country? Danger is every where, but if this continues means then what we are going to give for our future?
I assure you all the if this continues means, then surely we can only give one thing to our future. That is none other than "Terror World", then surely they won't live peacefully any where in this world.

According to Mumbai Police, a group of 12 terrorists came to Mumbai from Gujarat. They got into one of the many Gujarat Fisheries boats that come into Sasoon Dock.
