November 27, 2008 DGP: 'Catch terrorists alive or shoot them' Play video

(NECN/NDTV) - Maharashtra DGP A N Roy was very clear on Thursday, there were no plans to negotiate with terrorists holding hostages in the Trident and Nariman House. Either these terrorists would be captured alive or shot dead.

"Five terrorists have already been killed, some more are likely in these operations, which are going on," AN Roy told NDTV. "We have arrested some suspects as well, but at the moment our focus it to kill or nab these terrorists first, safely secure our guests in the hotels and buildings, then after we would concentrate on the investigation."

101 people have been reported killed in the attack, which was concentrated on the city of Mumbai, India. Gunmen showered the city with gunfire, killing people in restaurants and shops, and taking hostages in the city's major hotels.

Reports said that people with British and American passports were targeted.

"This seems to be a very well planned, very well executed, with great precision and training, type of operation," An Roy said.
