Chabad House in Mumbai

     Nine people - most Israelis, some dual citizens but all of them Jews - were killed in an attack on the Chabad House in Mumbai, one of ten targets hit by terrorists in a series of coordinated attacks across the city that left at least 195 people dead, and hundreds wounded. After checking hospitals and morgues in Mumbai, Foreign Ministry officials said on Sunday that there do not appear to be any more Israeli or Jewish victims of the attacks apart from those that have already been identified as victims from the Chabad House. Still, a small number of Israelis believed to be in Mumbai still have not contacted their families, and there remain unidentified victims from the attacks. Specialists from the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute will leave for Mumbai on Monday to execute a final sweep of the area.

Olmert's comments appeared to be aimed at heading off tensions with India, an important Israeli ally. Speaking at the weekly meeting of his Cabinet, Olmert said there had been proper and correct cooperation with India throughout the crisis. Olmert said there was no doubt the attacks targeted Jewish institutions. While noting that Israel had offered assistance, he said there was never any talk of sending in Israeli forces. "I'm pleased with this cooperation and take this opportunity to thank the Indian government for deciding to keep us updated throughout the events, he said. (18,20)
