Here are two of the the chilling intercepts found in the second part of the Indian government's Mumbai dossier. Note that in the Oberoi transcript the killers are warned not to be taken alive. Despite some media reports that this was not a suicide mission, it was (bolding in mine). Nariman or Chadad House is where the Jews were killed. Both of these intercepts can be found in Part 2 of the report.
Oberoi Hotel: 27.11.2008 : 0353 hrs
Caller: Brother Abdul. The media is comparing your action to 9/11. One senior police officer has been killed.
Abdul Rehman: We are on the 10th/11th floor. We have five hostages.
Caller 2 (Kafa): Everything is being recorded by the media. Inflict the maximum damage. Keep fighting. Don’t be taken alive.
Caller: Kill all hostages, except the two Muslims. Keep your phones switched on so that we can hear the gunfire.
Fahadullah: We have three foreigners including women. From Singapore and China.
Caller: Kill them.
(Voices of Fahadullah and Abdul Reman directing hostages to stand in a line, and telling the two Muslims to stand aside. Sound of gunfire. Cheering voices [Allahu Ahkbar?] in background Kafa hands telephone to Zarar)
Nariman (Chadad) House: 27.11.2008 : 1945 hrs
Wassi: Keep in mind that the hostages are of use only as long as you do not come under fire because of their safety. If you are threatened, then don’t saddle yourself with the burden of the hostages, immediately kill them.
Receiver: Yes, we shall do accordingly, God willing.
Wassi: The Army claims to have done the work without any hostage being harmed. Another thing; Israel has made a request through diplomatic channels to save the hostages. If the hostages are killed, it will spoil relations between India and Israel.
Receiver: So be it, God willing.
Wassi: Stay alert.
