New Delhi: It has been one of the most ruthless terrorist attack the country has seen, and Mumbai continues to live the nightmare. The death toll in the terror attacks has touched 155. And among the dead at the three sites of attack are nearly 20 foreign nationals.

At Nariman House which was secured Friday night, the celebrations were short-lived. Five hostages, including Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife Rivka, were killed by the terrorists. Holtzberg was a representative of the jewish community in the city.

He had made a call to the Israeli Consulate to report the gunmen in the house. In the middle of the call, the line went dead. The couple's toddler son, Moshe, however escaped with his nanny,

At Oberoi Hotel, Americans Alan Scherr and his 13-year-old daughter Naomi from Virginia were found dead. The father-daughter duo were visiting India with a group of people to do meditation.

British Millionaire Andreas Liveras was giving a harrowing account of the unfolding drama to the BBC from a locked room in the Taj hotel on Wednesday night barely hours after terror took over Mumbai and barely minutes after the call he was shot dead by the same terrorists he was talking about.

Among the 20 foreigners who perished, three from Germany, one from Japan, one from Canada, one from Australia. All killed in the wave of terror that swept Mumbai. Terror that knows no boundaries, no colour.
