Decca mujahideen is claiming responsibility for a series of violent and horrific terrorist acts on the western coast of India in Mumbai.

Madan Bhasin, and his friends Gorli Harish and wife Vanita were watching the news as the death toll rose.

They say these terrorist acts are very scary and it's sad so many have died.

We're told large groups of men carrying guns and grenades, stormed two five star hotels, a train station, and a well known restaurant in what is being called a well-coordinated and organized attack.

Some hotel guests are believed to have been taken hostage.

Bhasin and Harish say they stayed in the Taj Hotel just two years ago.

Harish says he feels this terrorist attack has been building for years, he says by attacking places that reflect the financial success of Indian society, and places where Americans are visiting as tourists, like Mumbai, terrorists are able to get the most possible damage done, sending a violent message to both the U.S. And Indian society.
