Ok, now the Union Government is getting some information<\/a>.

Terrorists who struck Mumbai had set up advance \u201cControl Rooms\u201d in the luxury Taj and Trident Oberoi hotels which was also targeted and did prior reconnaisance executing plans worked \u201cover months\u201d, Union Cabinet minister Kapil Sibal said on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Sibal said the unprecedented terror attack in the country\u2019s financial capital was planned \u201cover months\u201d and the terrorists were not carrying AK-47 rifles but sophisticated weapons like MP-6.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe terrorists have identified the targets earlier. Somebody had told them earlier. Enormous planning went into the incident. The terrorists were dropped by a mother ship and travelled in rubber boats which they docked (at Mumbai),\u201d Sibal said.<\/p>\n

Terrorists were not attacking people at random. It was a well though out plan, Sibal said.<\/p>\n

They had targeted certain key police officers even when they were wearing vests and protective head gears, he said, adding the terrorists shot them dead within minutes of their arrival.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
