Teams of heavily armed gunmen stormed luxury hotels, a popular tourist attraction and a crowded train station in at least seven attacks in India's financial capital, killing at least 78 people and wounding at least 200, officials said. The gunmen were specifically targeting Britons and Americans, media reports said, and may be holding hostages. The gunmen also attacked police headquarters in south Mumbai, the area where most of the attacks, which began late Wednesday and continued into Thursday morning, took place.

The 12 men were accused of waging war from murder, conspiracy and the state. One guy was acquitted.
The bombings on 11 July 2006 injured more than 800 and killed 189 people.

India accused Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar e Taiba of carrying out the blasts, an allegation that has been denied by Pakistan.
