Our hostages were tortured say Israelis

Coffins containing the bodies of some Israelis who died in Mumbai have arrived in Israel for burial, amid reports that the terrorists tortured their Jewish hostages before killing them.

At least eight of the 22 foreigners killed were said to be Jewish. Five died at the Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch retreat, where the terrorists held out for three days.

Indian doctors were horrified at the injuries to the dead, who included Rabbi Gavriel Hotlzberg and his wife Rivka. Their son, Moshe, aged two, escaped with his nanny.
