Who Are The Deccan Mujahideen?

This unknown group is claiming responsibility for the attacks in Mumbai.  Tensions between Hindus, who make up 80% of India’s population, and Muslims, who are 14% of India, have erupted on and off since British-controlled India was split up into an indpendent India and Paksitan in 1947.  But it appears as though the gunmen who stormed Mumbai’s luxury hotels were in search of westerners.

Gunmen who burst into the Taj “were targeting foreigners. They kept shouting: `Who has U.S. or U.K. passports?'” said Ashok Patel, a British citizen who fled from the hotel.
