The gruesome attack by 10 Pakistani gunmen with the terrorists taking hostages in hotels and opening fire on roads of the city of dreams shook the nation. The attacks left 166 people, including 28 foreigners, dead and the nightmare ended after a 60-hour long operation that began on the night of November 26, 2008.
The only terrorist who was captured alive was Ajmal Kasab who was hanged four years later on November 21 2012.
