As is well documented, nine of those terrorists were shot down, one was captured alive the man we know as Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab.

The security forces spread out across six locations to combat the incessant volleys from the 10 terrorists. But
the Mumbai police were handicapped by the quality of the ammunition they used.

The bullets were old, procured over 10 years ago, and they misfired.

"Had the operation been better planned with better equipment, the number of rounds would have been far less," said a senior police source.
