Tata "We've had prior warnings on attack." - Terrorist attack on Mumbai Taj Mahal Hotel

Ratan Tata, the owner of Tata Group that also owns the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, which was the target of a deadly terrorist attack that resulted in 200 killed and approx 400 injured, including many foreigners, expats and tourists; had revealed that prior to the attack, they've receive warnings of a possible terrorist threat a few weeks earlier, and had subsequently upped security checking and patrols, however they weren't anticipating an attack of such magnitude, firepower, professional planning and execution that took place in the hundred year old hotel that's on par with skirmish battles.
