Shots were fired and three explosions were heard around midday Friday at the Chabad House in Mumbai, where Indian police were trying to free hostages from Muslim terrorists who took over the facility in a terror attack on the city on Wednesday. There is no word on Chabad emissary Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, who are believed to be among the hostages.

Earlier, television coverage showed someone inside the building waving a crumpled up Israeli flag.
