Mumbai, India attacks in pictures
The brutal attack is now declared complete as Indian commandos cleaned up the operation after 3 days. Reports say Gun men came in boats from Pakistan and did this deadliest act of killing 175 plus people including foreigners who are visiting India.
Courtesy: BBC.Co.UK - Two hotels, a major railway station, a hospital and a Jewish centre. Here is image source Mumbai's shooting location
22 foreigners are known to have died, including victims from Israel, the US, Germany, Japan, Canada, Australia, Italy, Singapore, Thailand and France. One Briton, Andreas Liveras, was also killed.
Boston.com has 35 pictures with high resolution and the photos are nicely censored to leave out graphic photos to viewers discretion and an explicit "view" action to view them. I sometimes feel Indian press should follow these measures as not to show all those disturbing graphic images to viewers.
Here are picture links from Rediff (Some of them may be very graphic) - Remembering those we lost ,Commandos exchange guns for roses ,Silence, then the tears came welling down ,‘Shouldn't Narendrabhai have waited?’ ,Nation bids Karkare farewell ,The NSG triumphs against terror ,New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg mourns for the victims of Mumbai ,NSG men storm Nariman House ,Rescued from the Oberoi! ,Commandos crush terrorists ,The day after terror struck Mumbai ,The Battle at Nariman House ,After the rescue, the death count ,NSG men storm Nariman House ,Bloomberg mourns for Mumbain ,Trident under attack ,Army out, gunbattle rages on ,Landmarks that were attacked ,Terror at the Taj ,Aah Taj! ,Encounter on Marine Drive ,Terrorist strikes CST station ,Mumbai bleeds again

2008 October Visa Bulletin EB2, EB3 dates moved back
The suspense is over of what will be the cut off dates for EB2 and EB3 category in October'2008 Visa Bulletin. The October month is when the new fiscal year begins for visa number allotments. The allotments at start of year is always cheering to the numerous immigrants waiting for Greencard approvals.
The Mumbai consulate released the cut-off dates today --
Many predictions were that EB2 will slow down and EB3 changes significantly from unavailable to a much advanced date. Mumbai cut-off dates are available now and its back to square one. For EB2 dates are retrogressed to 1 April 2003 where as for EB3 it is 1 July 2001. Some pleasing news for EB3 as it changed from "Unavailable".
Unless the legislation to acquire all unused past Green card numbers is passed, the wait to become numbers current is a day dream.
Here is the link you can find October's 2008 visa bulletin from USCIS
