Japanese among dead in Mumbai terrorist attack
Multiple terrorist attacks have taken place in Mumbai, killing at least 100 people. Two Japanese businessmen who were about to check-in to a hotel were caught in one of the attacks and wounded by gunfire. Although they managed to get out of the building, one of them did not survive:
Hisashi Tsuda, 38, an employee of Mitsui Marubeni Liquefied Gas Co., was pronounced dead at a hospital after he was shot in the chest and abdomen at the Trident Hotel, sources said.
He had arrived in Mumbai, the commercial center in western India, on a business trip earlier in the day.
His colleague, Tatsuya Kessoku, 44, was slightly injured.
The Japanese government has reportedly confirmed the safety of about 90% of the 300 or so Japanese citizens known to be visiting or residing in Mumbai. They have not been able to confirm the nationality of hostages currently being held by terrorists.
