Yesterday, it was reported that Brooklyn Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rivka (pictured, left) "are among the westerners taken hostage at the Mumbai headquarters of the New York-based outreach group Chabad Lubavitch" during Wednesday's terror attacks in Mumbai, India. Terrorist gunmen had entered the Chabad house, and reportedly took a number of people hostage. Commandoes just stormed the building, and CNN-IBN reports that "5 hostages killed at Mumbai Jewish center." (More details on the raid at the Times of India.)
