A first-hand account of the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India...

We have an outstanding and timely guest speaker from the FBI, Special Agent Steven Merrill.
SA Merrill, who was assigned as the Assistant Legal Attache' at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi at the time of the Mumbai attacks, was on his way to Jodhpur, India to play cricket on the U.S. Embassy Team in the Maharajah's annual tournament.

When he learned of the attacks, SA Merrill made his way to Mumbai. All he had were the clothes on his back, his Blackberry, and his cricket gear. He immediately made contact with his Indian counterparts and got to work. No red tape, no turf battles - just first responders, standing shoulder to shoulder in a time of crisis. SA Merrill helped rescue hostages, set up lines of communication with his FBI and intelligence community counterparts and coordinated the arrival of the FBI Rapid Deployment Team.
