Sabina Sehgal Saikia

[citation needed] In November 2008, 10 terrorists belonging to Lashkar-e-Taiba attacked a train station, a Jewish cultural center, and the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, where Sehgal was attending a wedding.

[4] Approximately 170 people were massacred and the hotel was left burning for days while Indian authorities attempted to track down the terrorists whereabouts.

[4] Among the 170 killed there were 18 foreigners of US, German, Canadian, Israeli, Britain, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Thailand, Australian, and Singapore citizenship.

[4] These attacks convinced the Indian government to supply more police officers, better guns, and more training on how to handle different types of terrorist threats.

[3] This career path finally landed Sabina a position of editor of a popular Indian paper called ‘Delhi Times’.

The Taj Mahal Palace was the site of Sehgal's murder.
