What to do and how to behave if under siege from terrorists?

Just like what happened in Mumbai.In the coming days we will come to know about living tales by survisvors.But we people are fortunate/`unfortunate’ not have these experiences.Atleast at one point of time ,I thought I missed a chance .But if under siege by terrorists ,what needs to be done?Pls make it a serious dicussion thread rather than taking it to a sccoped level of conspiracies and Hindu-Muslim debate…

I hope your suggestions will help many of us,who may have to face this danger in the near future or so,seeing the present developments.I think in the sub-continent ,people will have to be prepared for these kinds of situations.

Only serious posts pls.

Simply won't work because you have got many instances where Muslims were killed by Muslim terrorists.

Turks were relesed cause they were muslims. takbir.

MUMBAI: When faced with a volley of gunshots, while sipping coffee at the Oberoi Hotel on Wednesday night, Ali Arpaciouglu, a Turkish citizen on
a business trip to Mumbai, chose to escape through the hotel kitchen and down a flight of stairs that opened onto the road outside.
This was probably one of the best decisions he took. On the other hand, his business partner, Meltem Muezzinoglu, and her husband, Seyfi, both Turks, when faced with the same situation, decided to dash out of the restaurant and head upstairs instead. When terrorists laid siege to the hotel, the Muezzinoglus were held hostage.

"I was in the Indian restaurant at the Oberoi on Wednesday night, when we heard a couple of gunshots. This was followed by another round of shots,‘’ said Arpaciouglu. Diners ducked under their seats in panic. "One of the hotel staff, a lady whose hand had been wounded in the firing, led a group of us to safety. Though she was bleeding, she took charge of the situation, and led us out of the restaurant, to safety.‘’

The Muezzinoglus, however, found themselves in a hostage situation, along with a group of foreigners. That night, they shared a room with three foreigners - all women. Two machine-gun-wielding terrorists stood guard over them the whole night.

All the hostages were asked to reveal their religion. When the Muezzinoglus said they were Muslims, their captors told them that they would not be harmed. The other three Caucasian women were removed from the room next day, and the terrorists informed the Muezzinoglus that they had been shot.

Arpaciouglu kept in touch with his friends all through the hostage crisis, up until the time they were released the next day. While the hostages allowed the couple to make one phone call to Arpaciouglu at 3am, for the rest of the day, they relied on text messages. The couples’ final messages read: `Soldiers are here now. Soldiers found us’.

Arpaciouglu said, "I hope I’ll never have to relive this experience.‘’
