Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni convened a press conference Friday in which she stated that Foreign Ministry personnel were awaiting the end of the Indian commando operation in the Mumbai Chabad house.
“It appears the incident is over,” she said. “The senior security officer and his people asked permission to enter the premises but then more shooting and explosions broke out.”
Livni said Indian security forces were still in the building, moving from floor to floor of the building in an attempt to clear it of terrorist presence. She added that ZAKA and medical teams were standing by. Indian television reports said five hostages had been killed in the terror attack.
The foreign minister said initial reports had indicated that the situation at the Chabad house was “very problematic”. She added, “Our world is under attack, and it doesn’t matter if it’s in India or somewhere else. Only when things like this happen do we understand that we are partners in the same battle.
