On 26 November 2008 ten heavily armed terrorists entered Mumbai. They headed for the citys iconic landmarks and the mayhem they unleashed lasted nearly 60 hours. The audacious terror attacks jolted Mumbai like never before. Even as they mourned, the residents of Maximum City demanded answers. But the information they got in returnaccounts of the investigation, government rhetoric, newspaper reports, television features, books and even a filmwas sketchy at best. Meanwhile, the courts continued with their prosecution of Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving 26or11 gunman.
