IGP ATS, Gujarat Police MUMBAI 26/11 ATTACK ON NARIMAN HOUSE • The terrorists covered the stair case and lift making it difficult for the forces to enter into the building, thus necessitating air dropping. • Two terrorists were killed in Nariman house.

IGP ATS, Gujarat Police MUMBAI 26/11 VILLEPARLE CAR EXPLOSION IGP ATS, Gujarat Police MUMBAI 26/11 IGP ATS, Gujarat Police Lessons to be learnt from Mumbai Terrorist Attack Incident • The terrorists who perpetrated the Mumbai mayhem were foot soldiers of ‘LeT.’ • Kasab’s interrogation reveals that 500 such trained terrorists are ready for deployment. • When news started pouring in from Trident, Oberoi, Taj, Ville Parle, there was total confusion. There were no Crisis Management Group or Command Centre to co-ordinate the efforts, movements and deployment of resources. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police Golden Hour Close to 80% killings took place within the first hour of this terrorists attack at various locations. During this hour the Police response was brave but chaotic. The strategy of the terrorists was to kill maximum number of people at selected locations in a short time and then take hostages to a vantage point in highrise buildings and thereafter prolong the situation as long as possible. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police • In each police unit there are many internal security schemes, but there is no scheme for such terrorist attacks. We need to prepare the scheme urgently. • In important cities we need to identify structures that are iconic and which are frequented by the rich / powerful and people from foreign countries. • For each structure / building we need to make crisis response plans, with details such as layout, locations of CCTV, stairs, emergency exits etc. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police • In hotel Taj the terrorists controlled the building so effectively that the police did not know how many of them were there. From 6th floor they had the entry point in their sight / control. Hence they were able to keep security forces at bay. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police • The weapons, equipments, ammunitions, teargas, bullet-proof jackets, barricades should be distributed in such a way in the city that they can be available without any loss of time. • The QRT (Quick Relief Team) should also be stationed at strategic locations and we must reduce the response time. • The telephone and mobile numbers of key services like Hospital, Fire brigade, Municipal Corporations, Army, Air Force, CRPF, RAF and NSG so that atleast two key persons could be contacted on mobile numbers and landline numbers. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police • It is very important to keep the place of incident well cordoned to avoid crowding and to keep the media away. • The worst part of Mumbai operation was that media was allowed to make it a spectacle, the terrorists inside always knew what were security forces doing and how they were being tackled because they were in live touch with their HQ through mobile phones. • However, a senior Police officer should hold periodical media briefing so that media is provided necessary information and the rumours do not spread. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police • The SOP’s should be known to all concerned agencies and individuals and must be rehearsed so that we move like a machine. • As a part of our exercise mock drill must be conducted to replicate this scenario. • When news started pouring in from one location after another there was stunned silence in the Police Control Room and PHQ and there was a palpable fear that the terrorists were going to target the PHQ and CP’s office. IGP ATS, Gujarat Police Time log of events 21:48 hrs Control Room is informed about firing at Leopold Café.

    Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 358 Filed: 01/22/13 Page 1 of 20 PageID #:2892 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ) ) No. 09 CR 830 v. ) ) Judge Harry D. Leinenweber DAVID COLEMAN HEADLEY ) GOVERNMENT’S POSITION PAPER AS TO SENTENCING FACTORS The United States of America, by and through its attorney, Gary S. Shapiro, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, respectfully submits the following as its position paper as to sentencing factors and objections to the Presentence Report: I. Introduction Determining the appropriate sentence for David Headley requires consideration of uniquely aggravating and uniquely mitigating factors. Headley played an essential role in the planning of a horrific terrorist attack. His advance surveillance in India contributed to the deaths of approximately 164 men, women, and children, and injuries to hundreds more. Undeterred by the shocking images of death and destruction that came out of Mumbai in November 2008, Headley traveled to Denmark less than two months later to advance a plan to commit another terrorist attack. Headley not only worked at the direction of Lashkar e Tayyiba for years, but also with members of al Qaeda. There is little question that life imprisonment would be an appropriate punishment for Headley’s incredibly serious crimes but for the significant value provided by his immediate and extensive cooperation. Case: 1:09-cr-00830 Document #: 358 Filed: 01/22/13 Page 2 of 20 PageID #:2893 As discussed in this and other filings, the information that Headley provided following his arrest and in subsequent proffer sessions was of substantial value to the Government and its allies in its efforts to combat international terrorism.

  • Mumbai Street Shopping
    Shops Mumbai Street Shopping Colaba Causeway: The everyday carnival that is the Colaba Causeway market is a shopping experience like no other in Mumbai. Geared especially towards tourists, that infamous Indian saying of "sab kuch milega" (you'll get everything) certainly applies at this market. Dodge persistent balloon and map sellers, as you meander along the sidewalk and peruse the stalls. Want your name written on a grain of rice? That's possible too. If you need a break from shopping, pop into Leopold's Cafe or Cafe Mondegar, two well-known Mumbai hangouts. Location: Colaba Causeway, Colaba, south Mumbai. Opening Hours: Daily from morning until night. What to Buy: Handicrafts, books, jewelry, crystals, brass items, incense, clothes. Chor Bazar: Navigate your way through crowded streets and crumbling buildings, and you'll find Chor Bazaar, nestled in the heart of Muslim Mumbai. This fascinating market has a history spanning more than 150 years. Its name means "thieves market", but this was derived from the British mispronunciation of its original name of Shor Bazaar, "noisy market". Eventually stolen goods started finding their way into the market, resulting in it living up to its new name! Location: Mutton Street, between S V Patel and Moulana Shaukat Ali Roads, near Mohammad Ali Road in south Mumbai. Opening Hours: Daily 11 a.m. until 7.30 p.m., except Friday. The Juma Market is held there on Fridays. What to Buy: Antiques, bronze items, vintage items, trash & treasure, electronics item. Linking Road: A fusion of modern and traditional, and East meets West, in one of Mumbai’s hippest suburbs.

In pleading guilty to all 12 counts that were brought against him in December and were repeated in a subsequent indictment in January, Headley admitted that he attended training camps in Pakistan operated by Lashkar e Tayyiba, a designated foreign terrorist organization, on five separate occasions between 2002 and 2005. In late 2005, Headley received instructions from three members of Lashkar to travel to India to conduct surveillance, which he did five times leading up to the Mumbai attacks three years later that killed six Americans among approximately 164 people and wounded hundreds more. A written plea agreement containing a detailed recitation of Headley’s participation in the foreign terrorism conspiracies was presented when Headley, 49, of Chicago, changed his plea to guilty this afternoon before U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber in Federal Court in Chicago.
