      Commandos Storm Chabad House in Mumbai


      Indian commandos are storming the Chabad House in Mumbai in an attempt to eliminate the 2-3 terrorists in the building. The fate of the Chabad couple is unknown.

      The building, known as the Nariman House, was badly damaged and commandos are engaging the terrorists in a fierce gunfight. A loud explosion, probably from a grenade or rocket launcher, was heard on the top floor of the five-story building, which was badly damaged.

      No word has been heard concerning the fate of Chabad-Lubavitch emissary Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, who were taken hostage at the beginning of the terrorist attack Wednesday night.
