Correction: Chabad Hostages Still Held

Apparently the eight hostages released near the Chabad House in Mumbai were local Indians and not the Chabad Rabbi and his family. Operations to free them are still ongoing:

Eight people seen outside the besieged Chabad House in Mumbai Thursday night were local Indians from a home in the same compound, and not Jewish or Israeli hostages from the Chabad House, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Thursday night, refuting media reports that the Chabad House hostages had been freed.


The commando raid was continuing outside the Chabad House with the remaining members of the five families taken hostage still being held.


Pray for the safety of Rabbi Gavriel Hotzberg,his wife Rivka and his family and the other hostages.
