MUMBAI: Terrorists who attacked Mumbai planned to kill 5,000 people, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil said on Saturday.


"So much of ammunition was found in their possession that it is evident they had plans to kill 5,000 people", Patil told a press conference here.

Without specifying the exact quantum of ammunitions found with terrorists, Patil said "a terrorist Mohammad Aslam Kasam, caught alive, was found with heavy ammunitions. So, one can imagine that others also carried similar ammunitions."

Police found a large quantity of hand grenades, bombs and hundreds of rounds with the terrorists, he said.

Two boxes containing eight kg RDX each were found near the Taj hotel which was cleared of terrorists today, he said adding "it has been sent to forensic labs for confirmation".

Terrorists had access to modern communication like GPS, satellite phone and mobile phones, Patil said

'Terrorists had plan to blow up Taj'



NEW DELHI: Times Now reports suggest that terrorist who was caught alive had confessed to investigating agencies that they had a plan to blow up the
Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai. ( Watch )

The terrorists had enough explosives to blow up the Taj hotel.

Sources have told the TV channel that they wanted to reduce the life-size building of Taj hotel to rubble. They also believed to have told about their plan to replicate a ‘JW Marriot’, happened at Islamabad, to the Mumbai hotel.

In a sense to destroy the symbol of financial strength of the country and send shock-waves all across the globe, the terrorists wanted to do a 9/11 in India.

The above revelation came from the 21 year old Azam Amir Kasav, who hails from tehsil Gipalpura in Pakistan's Faridkot.

On Wednesday-Thursday night Azam and his colleague opened fire at CST before creating havoc at Metro and then moving on to Girgaum Chowpatty in a stolen Skoda, and where they were intercepted by a team from the Gamdevi police station. Azam shot dead assistant police inspector Tukaram Umbale.

But in that encounter Azam's colleague was killed and he himself was injured in the hand. He pretended to be dead giving rise to the news that two terrorists had been killed. However as the 'bodies' were being taken to Nair Hospital, the accompanying cops figured that one of the men was breathing.
