I still vividly remember the Russian theatre hostage crisis where the Russian Police used Sleeping gas to counter militants and get some hostages alive.
That was in 2002. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read the link in detail please... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
Its hard to believe the Indian Forces did not utilize anything like this ???
I was all the while thinking the Taj Nariman Trident Oberoi places would be tear gassed and the militants would be subdued temporarily to pave the way for NSG commandoes.
The Russians had used the Ventilation systems to pump sleeping gas. Indians could have done the same at Taj!
Remember !!! The terrorists wore no masks nor were they having gas masks!!!
This element of Surprise could have paved a faster tackle of the situation.
I felt the high-profile guests forced the Police not to use such means...!!!
But at what cost ???
At least they could have saved the Nariman House or many other hostages which the terrorists used as Human Shields.
In The Russian incident the Media was used very effectively by the Russian Secret police.
They fed reports of a strike via the media and did not do any strikes which confused the Terrorists and made them complacent. This is where I feel our media is also murdering our Commandos by feeding inch by inch details of the Operation.
The Media could have been used better. Or all the TV inputs to the Troubled buildings could have been cut off.
The Media is shameless in its quest for viewership. It calls actors and producers or movies and discussed about the greatness of the Taj which was not relevant at the time the operation of the Commandoes was ongoing.
I feel a law is required to curb such inept TV Media so that the Terrorists do not gain mileage from the TV which seems to be their main aim.
What is also apalling is the news that the Intelligence Warnings the Police in Mumbai and Centre had received time and again.
3 days into the Massacre and I hear no resignations. In fact the Government invited the perpetrators for an Explanation which was promptly denied !!!!
Will anybody resign at all ?? Who claims responsibilities of the lives of the ATS and NSG commandoes and scores of innocent bystanders which could have been avoided by acting on the Intelligence tip-off ??
We in fact are in such a helpless state. The Prime minister would not attack Pakistan when it should. There are hapless people being killed. and We ask the neighbours to do the needful.
I feel I Would have attacked Pakistan the moment i knew the Terrorists were dropped by from Karachi.
Pakistan is in its dying stages yet it wants to cripple India's Trade.
Its bloody jealous !!!!
Its time we deliver the Knock out Punch to them !!!!
its time we set the record straight once for all !!!!
