In one of the biggest terrorist attacks on Indian soil, ~190 people have been brutally killed and 900 have been hurt. 9 locations were attacked according to the Times of India.
A train station, a tourist hot spot and 2 popular five star hotels for tourists were included in these 9 locations. 3 high-profile executive security officials were killed in the incident too.
Obviously, this will hurt the economy as India plays a huge role in the major world financial markets. Not only will India's tourist industry will be crippled, but tourism around the world will begin to dwindle as people will realize the global implications of this attack. This will serve as yet another reminder to Americans that National Security is interconnected with the Economy and that we can't overlook either one of these for the other.
The English and Australian Cricket teams have also postponed their scheduled trips to India for a cricket championship game next week. Colleges and schools all over the city of Mumbai have been closed. Trains have been suspended.
