US Embassy in India tweeted, "It's been ten years since the 2008 #MumbaiTerrorAttack.

India's financial capital came to a standstill on this very day a decade ago when 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists who came to Mumbai via sea route from Pakistan carried out a series of coordinated shooting and bombing attacks across the city.

Attacks took place at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) railway station, Cama Hospital, Nariman House business and residential complex, Leopold Cafe, Taj Mahal Hotel and Tower, and Oberoi-Trident Hotel over a span of four days, killing 166 people and injuring over 300.
