Bombay under siege as terrorists seize hostages

Indian police and commandos fighting terrorists - who have killed 101 people - have launched an operation to free hundreds of foreign hostages from Bombay's luxury Trident Oberoi Hotel.



I wonder if this will have any impact on outsourcing.


Milan.
Were the attacks perhaps carried out by the Pakistan IT Contractors Mujahadeen, having seen all their work outsourced to Mumbai for the last 5 years?

Barclays have announced a travel ban for staff to Mumbai! I bet they were queuing up to go as well.

I'm feeling particularly unsympathetic this morning.

Mostly coz I got wet on the way in.
