India's Parliament was attacked by five and possibly six gunmen in a commando-style raid that included a suicide bomber. Six police personnel, including a women constable, a parliament staffer, and four of the terrorists were killed in a half-hour shoot-out. A fifth terrorist blew himself up on the steps of Parliament. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Lashkar-i-Taiba terrorists carried out a similar attack on the Red Fort in December last year.
