Situation on the ground

101 dead, 9 terrorists arrested, but no names revealed ('because they do not have names like "purohit"?).
A lot of key folks -- including very senior international business heads (e.g. Global unilever CEO) stuck in the hotel; clearly one intention is economic destabilisation.

The tension is palpable, and everything is shut.

Thankfully, no one is talking about the "Mumbai spirit"

They've taken hostages at Chabad House -- an Israeli/Jewish cultural centre

There was some kind of Israel-India trade conference happening there.
They seem to be targeting Israelis/Jews in particular.
