What to Do if You are Caught in a Terrorist Attack
Mumbai Bomb Blasts: Appear to Target Foreigners
New is breaking of serious loss of life with several terrorist attacks in Bombay, or Mumbai, India. The terrorists appear to have targetted those with UK and US passports at the two 5-start luxury hotels that they targetted: the Oberoi and the Taj.
How to make yourself less of a target if you ever get involved in this type of situation.
- lie. Plain and simple if someone points at a gun or other weapon at you the first thing to do is to make sure your answers are self-serving and lying is a good start! If they were targetting UK and US passport holders those people wouldn’t have had their passports on them, its standard practice for paspsorts to be held at reception in India. So the correct answer if asked if you are English: say Irish, if asked if you are American say Canadian if asked if you are Australian say New Zealand. Why those countries: Ireland, Canada and NZ all have foreign policies that make sure their troops are not part of America’s foreign policy.
- don’t stay at landmark 5-star hotels in large cities. The Taj is the THE place to stay in Mumbai, the Oberoi is a close second. There are literally hundreds of very comfortable 3 and 4 star hotels that no one has ever heard off which will never be a target: because no one has ever heard of them and visiting celebrities and touring bands and sports teams don’t stay at them.

Yes, The Mumbai Terrorist attack was a move to discourage foreigners from visiting India. But that plot does not seem to have worked well. Every day one can see crowds especially in the Taj Area to see the restored Taj.
