Commandos airdropped at Nariman House for final assault

Mumbai, Nov 28 (PTI) Security forces closed in on
Nariman House to flush out terrorists as three fresh
explosions rocked the Jewish residential complex amid intense
exchange of fire and operations entered the final stage to end
the terror siege in luxury Oberoi hotel.

In dramatic scenes after day break, N.S.G. commandos
were air-dropped at the Nariman House in the midst of exchange
of fire as army zeroed in on the building in which at least
three terrorists are holed up.

Before commandos tightened their grip on Nariman House
for the final assault, two explosions within a span of ten to
15 minutes slowed down their operation. A third explosion was
heard at 4.47 a.m. I.S.T.

"The operation to clean up the Nariman House is still
going on," N.S.G Director General J. K. Dutt told reporters
just before choppers airdropped the commandos. "It is just a
matter of time and it will end soon", he said.

Dutt said the operations at Taj were by and large
over with just one injured terrorist still holed-up in the
building. "He has been injured and I think we will be able to
mop up the operation there very quickly," he said.

The forces continued to engage the two remaining
terrorists in Oberoi, where no gun shots or explosions were
heard since late Thursday night as the security forces
launched room-to-room searches. PTI KRK
