All incidents were within a radius of three kms in the posh South Mumbai.

Bombay attacks prove that terrorists are striking the nation at will. It has been a very carefully planned and well co-ordinated strike. They used the sea route to reach the city and attacked the railway station. Besides the hotels, was there a plan to do some damage at the airport too? Only further investigations would reveal. But I always believed that star hotels are the softest targets of terror. Cor the fear of losing clientile and being branded uncourtesous, star hotels hesitate in conducting physcial check of person and bags. If these are being done at the airports on the same class of people, why not conduct such security checks in hotels too. This should be an eye opener, and all hotels should have a robust security system in place. Or else this will cause a serious damage to our credibility internationally and affect toursim badly.
