On November 26, 2008, as many as 166 people were killed and over 300 were injured, including foreigners when 10 Pakistani terrorists of the LeT attacked five major sites in Mumbai.
The terror attacks lasted for four days during which terrorists targeted crowded and posh areas of the city, including Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), iconic Taj Hotel, Oberoi and Trident hotels.
They held people inside Taj Hotel as hostages. On November 27, National Security Guards were called in and the operation ended on November 29.
