| #5 Mr. Patel owns a hotel Actually Mr Patel is a phamaceutical lab assistant. He was hit after coming outside on hearing screams. The war on terror will not be won unless there is recognition of ALL the victims of terror - no matter their background... The deceased was Professor M C Puri, Professor Emeritus in the Mathematics Department of Delhi's Indian Institute of Technology. He had retired a few years ago. The injured are Dr Vijay Chandru a senior scientist of IISc, Dr Pankaj Gupta of IIT, Vijay Patil, a lab assistant at the Dhanvanthri Kshetra, Cadilla Phamaceuticals Laboratory within the campus, and Dr Sangeetha. |

| #4 The jihads left behind 2 grenades and an AK-47 with three mags. The seminar they attacked was on "Operations Research Applications in Indian Infrastructure" Wonder if the jihadis (probably pakistani or bangladeshi fodder) could even read? |

| #3 Reports say there was no real security on the campus - just a few middle aged, pot bellied cops without any firearms or even tasers. Soft target for the jihadis... |
