The death toll rises to 130, all hostage are freed from hotel Taj, but still one terrorist is said to be inside the hotel.
NSG commandos air dropped at Nariman house,where militants are holding at least 10 Israelis. Indian commandos slid down ropes from a hovering army helicopter Friday morning as they stormed Nariman house.
Indian authorities appeared to be gaining control of the crisis, but amid early indications that the sieges were ending, fears were growing that the toll would rise past the 130 known dead.
Mr. Singh issued a warning that seemed clearly aimed at Pakistan, which India has often accused of allowing terrorist groups to plot anti-Indian attacks.
The operation to clean up the Nariman House is still going on, Director General of National Security Guard (NSG) J K Dutt told media persons just before choppers airdropped the commandos.
The operations at Taj were by and large over with just one injured terrorist still holed-up in the building. Gun battle have resumed at hotel Taj. Sabina Sehgal Saikia is feared to have been trapped inside the Taj Hotel.
The strike seemed aimed at crippling the financial capital's ability to draw foreign investment.
