The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a series of terrorist attacks that took place on November 26th to 29th 2008, when 10 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, an Islamist terrorist organisation from Pakistan, carried out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks lasting four days across Mumbai. The Government of India stated that the attackers came from Pakistan, and their controllers were in Pakistan. The sole survivor of the terrorist group, Ajmal Kasab, told the police that they wanted to replicate the Marriott hotel attack in Islamabad, and reduce the Taj Hotel to rubble, replicating the 11 September attacks in US.

The attacks lasted 3 days, where 8 of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai: at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Palace & Tower, the Leopold Cafe, the Cama Hospital, the Nariman House, the Metro Cinema and in a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.
