The following is a transcript of phone conversations with terrorist that attacked Mumbai late last year:
At the Oberoi Trident
Caller 1: 'Brother Abdul. The media is comparing your action to 9/11. One senior police officer has been killed.'
Gunman 1: 'We are on the 10th, 11th floor. We have five hostages.'
Caller 2: 'Everything is being recorded by the media. Inflict the maximum damage. Keep fighting. Don't be taken alive.'
Caller 1: 'Kill all hostages, except the two Muslims. Keep your phone switched on so that we can hear the gunfire.'
Gunman 2: 'We have three foreigners, including women. From Singapore and China.'
Caller 1: 'Kill them.'
(Voices of the gunmen directing hostages to stand in a line, and telling the two Muslims to stand aside. Sounds of gunfire. Cheering.)
At Hotel Taj Mahal
Caller: 'How many hostages do you have?'
Gunman: 'We have one from Belgium. We have killed him. There was one chap from Bangalore. He could be controlled only with a lot of effort.'
Caller: 'I hope there is no Muslim among them?'
