Toll From Deadly, Coordinated Mumbai Attacks Tops 170,
Two Top Indian Officials Resign, Tensions Rise Between
India and Pakistan

We host a roundtable discussion on the attacks in
Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital,
that has left nearly 200 people dead and hundreds
wounded. Indian officials claim that as few as 10
gunmen coordinated attacks that began late Wednesday
night on multiple targets including a crowded railway
station, two luxury hotels, a popular cafe, a Jewish
center, a hospital, and a movie theater. India's top
domestic security official, the Home Minister, Shivraj
Patil resigned Sunday over his failure to contain the
attacks. The State Chief Minister and his deputy have
also offered to quit. We speak with South Asian
History professor Vijay Prashad, New York City-based
activist Biju Mathew, veteran journalist and
commentator Tariq Ali and award-winning activist and
journalist from Mumbai Teesta Setalvad [includes rush
transcript].
