The massacre that has been going on in India for two and a half days came to an end Saturday morning. With 195 dead and 300 injured, India authorities are investigating who is behind the attacks. “Local media have labeled the massacre ‘India’s 9/11,’” according to Foxnews.com. “The country is hardly a stranger to terrorism, but the attacks on 10 sites in Mumbai have shaken the country with their violent intensity and brazenness, the extent of which only now is fully coming to light.” It has also been reported that the 10 gunmen had planned to blow up the Taj Majal hotel. In a New York Times article, citizen journalists shared their insight into the horror of the past three days.
