Coordinated terrorist attacks struck the heart of Mumbai, India’s commercial capital, on Wednesday night, killing dozens in machine-gun and grenade assaults on at least two five-star hotels, the city’s largest train station, a movie theater and a hospital.
Even by the standards of terrorism in India, which has suffered a rising number of attacks this year, the assaults were particularly brazen and drastically different in scale and execution. The attackers used boats to reach the urban peninsula where they hit, and their targets were sites popular with tourists.
"Mumbai" is the right way to pronounce "Bombay," which is considered the financial center of India.

Addendum: After a night of fighting the police said 104 people were killed and 314 injured. Officials said eight militants were also killed.
