Pamela Kelavi,
The Terrorists were under instructions to hide & kill as many civilians before getting killed .
Read this report which will show how Pakistan terrorist were captured with their Masters across the border !
The militants waited in the shadows for the police van to pass and when it slowed down in the narrow road, they sprayed it with gunfire.
They opened the doors and dumped five slumped officers bodies into the streets, then piled into the van. What they did not know was that two officers, including constable Arun Jadhav, were in the backseat, alive.
Jadhav was then taken on a chilling 10-minute ride through the dark streets of Mumbai with two of the gunmen who had launched a siege that would last for 60 more hours and leave at least 174 people dead.
While one of the men drove the van, another pointed his rifle out of the window and fired on a crowd milling outside a cinema. Later, he threw a grenade outside a state government building.
Finally, one of the van s tyres went flat, and the gunmen abandoned the vehicle. They stopped another car, pulled out the driver and drove away, he said.
Jadhav climbed forward and used the police radio to call for backup and tell the authorities what direction the gunmen had gone.
Minutes later, a team of officers blockaded a road lining the coast, and opened fire at the hijacked car. One gunman was killed and another arrested the only militant to be captured during the entire two-and-a-half day ordeal.
Jadhav is now recuperating from his injuries at a city hospital, and replaying the episode again and again in his mind. I wish I could have lifted my gun, he said.
