Can you believe it??!!?? In our world today, there are still about 17 million people under slavery!!! Soon, it'll be more than just that, although slavery is illegal everywhere. The blacks are forced to do domestic & agricultural slavery in Mauritania and Sudan. About 45,000 women and children are smuggled to the USA each year with false promises of decent jobs and when they found out that their passports are stolen. Also, some slaves sell their daughters in order to get some money for their freedom. And probably about 20 million people that are treated like slaves, are in debt bondage.

Because of modern-day slavery, we should all tell others that people should not be slaves!! All of us need to learn the rights the people who were treated as slaves, have. All of should realized every one has their own freedom rights.

Picture from "THIS" website.

In Mumbai, India, the Indians took control of Taj Mahal Palace & Tower and killed lots of people. Three terrorists were found dead and parts of the hotel were on fire. Soldiers went and searched the whole hotel but it seems that this BIG event have ended. This is what happened...

The Indian terrorists were trained well, one of them carried a backpack filled with rounds of ammunition. It seemed that those attacks indicated high degrees with preparing because they know the layout of the building very well. Some of them were caught arriving by boat and disguising as guests for days.

The soldiers searched in a gunman's backpack and this is what they've found:

- found dried fruits (safe).

-400 rounds of AK-47 ammunition.

- 4 grenades.

- Indian + American money.

- Seven credit cards (from some world's leading banks).

- 1 national identity card (Mauritius, an Island).

MY THOUGHTS:

It's really scary. Just imagine... You just want to have a normal vacation in India. Suddenly, you were caught by some strangers (terrorists) asking you questions and killing the others~ What a terrible sight (and I mean it)!!!!

(I only wrote a little... to find more information about this scary event... go to the link below...)
