Police release names of Mumbai gunmen
By MUNEEZA NAQVI – 1 hour ago
MUMBAI, India (AP) — India police released the names Tuesday of nine suspected Islamic militants killed during their attack on Mumbai, bolstering India's charges that all of them came from Pakistan.
At a briefing Tuesday, chief police investigator Rakesh Maria gave the names and the aliases used by the gunmen in the attacks. He also showed photographs of eight of the men — some taken from identity cards, while others were gruesome shots of the dead attackers.
No photograph was released for one of the men because his body was too badly burned, Maria said.
Maria also gave details of the districts and towns in Pakistan from where the gunmen are believed to have come. He did not say how police had tracked down their hometowns, although they have been interrogating the lone surviving gunman.
India has blamed the Pakistani-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the attacks that left 171 people dead in India's financial center last, and have demanded that Pakistan take action.
Pakistan has intensified its crackdown on a militant group suspected in the Mumbai terror attacks by arresting 20 more people but said Tuesday it will not hand any of its citizens over to India.
The United States is pressing Pakistan to help catch those behind the attack, and avert a crisis between the nuclear-armed neighbors that would harm efforts against the Taliban and al-Qaida.
Also Tuesday, the new head of a Jewish center in Mumbai vowed to restore the facility that was devastated when the gunmen rampaged through the city ten days earlier. The owners of the iconic Taj Mahal hotel, meanwhile, pledged to reopen with an interfaith ceremony.
Chabad house, the Jewish center, was one of several places captured by suspected Islamic gunmen in the Nov. 26-29 attacks. A commando assault ended the two-day siege of the center, but six people inside the building — all Jewish foreigners — were killed.
"We are staying at the same center and will rebuild it even nicer than it was," said Rabbi Dov Goldberg, an Israeli who was sent by the ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which ran the house.
Among those killed in the attack was American-Israeli Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka.
Goldberg said that while it was very difficult for him to replace Holtzberg, whom he had worked under for a while in India, he was determined to carry out his mission.
"We will try and open it as soon as possible," Goldberg told The Associated Press. "Meanwhile, we will have it in a temporary place. Our activities will not stop even for one second."
The building served as a spiritual oasis for Mumbai's small Jewish community, traveling Jewish backpackers and visiting businessmen, providing a synagogue and kosher food.
Goldberg said the center, which was ravaged by dozens of explosions during the commando assault, would be refurbished and that it would have more security. "We will do all that's necessary for security and for safety," he said.
Goldberg was sent from New York, where the movement has its headquarters, together with his wife and daughter, he said.
The Holtzbergs' 2-year-old son, Moshe, survived the attack after being whisked out the building by his nanny and another worker.
The owners of the Taj Mahal, scene of much of the bloodshed, also said they would hold an interfaith prayer ceremony to rededicate the building.
"The spiritual rebirth and rededication of the hotel is an important step in our recovery process," Raymond Bickson, the managing director of Taj Hotels, said in a statement.
The 105-year hotel would reopen with a ceremony performed by Parsi, Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist and Jewish religious leaders.
The historic hotel suffered extensive damage during the siege, frequently catching fire as the gunmen and commandos battled it out. The place was riddled with bullets and dozens of grenades were thrown in the building.
A fire broke out at the hotel early Tuesday, likely caused by an electrical short circuit, but no additional damage was done, the hotel said in a statement.
Work has already begun, assessing the structure and clearing rubble and damaged furniture, the statement said.
It was not clear how long reconstruction work would take, but the hotel said it hoped "the hotel will shine again in tribute to the people who fell during the terrorist attacks."

This is such a mess. Our PM dropping these accusations and then leaving an information vacuum behind to be filled with polarization that will distract from his own political scandals and the foreign interference in his own office.
Worse, he is waging a war with country on social media. This will not end well for Canada or India.

Indeed, but there were better ways to handle this. He's making big mistakes in public and forcing our allies to polarize, like he has done to Canada.
This is similar to how he fucked up the Huawei thing by arresting the CEO's daughter in Canada at the behest of the United States while she was in transit to a third country. A smarter PM would have just not responded to the request for a few hours, until she was flying over the USA on her way to Mexico. He was not wise enough to do this and it resulted in the kidnapping of the 2 Micheals in China.
Trudeau has delayed an investigation into foreign interference IN HIS OWN OFFICE for 8 months now, and counting, even though a Public Inquiry was voted on and approved by Parliament. He understands delay. He is more focused on shaping social media and coms than actually governing responsibly in a dangerous world.

Still, we're a chump country if we let other countries assassinate people here without consequence. Feels like irrational trudeau hate and political opportunism to castigate him so heavily without all the facts.
From what I understand there have been behind the scenes moments on this for MONTHS between canada and India and India basically blew us off and treated us like chumps the whole time. It wouldn't have blown up in public here if India had just been a partner instead of a bully who thinks we're a middle/lower power they can push around or ignore as they wish.
Modi is the asshole here

Modi acted like MBS with Khashoggi, and after ignoring the Canadian diplomatic overatrues, got outed. I say fuck him. He's the one that looks weak and is clearly on the defensive.
