The attackers were instructed to target foreign nationals, especially Israelis, who they were told had caused maximum damage to Muslims worldwide. They were told not to kill Muslims at the Taj, Oberoi, Nariman House and Colaba. However, at CST, where there would both Hindus and Muslims, they must carry out “brush fire”.
“Hotel jalaa ke bada nuksaan karne ko kaha. Hotel Oberoi ke bahar RDX se blast karne ko kaha, taaki wahaan traffic jam ho jaye aur securitywale aa na sakein.” (We were told to set hotels on fire, and use RDX to set off an explosion outside Oberoi, so that securitymen could not come in.)
