The Times of India: Security forces shot dead all the militants who mounted a suicide attack on the Parliament House on Thursday. Six Delhi Police personnel, including a woman CRPF constable, were also killed in the shootout. All ministers and MPs are safe.
Militants in army uniform reportedly came in a white Ambassador car (DL 3CJ 1527) blaring sirens. The car had both Parliament House as well as home ministry stickers on it. They entered the Parliament complex from the Rajya Sabha side by following the security guards of an MP around 11.45 am. They threw a grenade at the security forces and started indiscriminate firing. [...] The militants were armed with China-made grenades, RDX and AK-47 automatic rifles. One of the militants was reportedly a suicide bomber with a bomb strapped to his body.
