BBC News on Delhi Airport Gunmen

I've seen nothing on the report of airborne assault. Does this mean they arrived by air, or that security forces were dropped from the air to deal with it?

I was watching the events unfold in Mumbai last week, and the time-line they were describing indicated that several gunmen remained unaccounted for.

Initial reports were stating up to 14 groups of armed men assaulting different targets. If you assume "group" means at least two, that's at least 28 men. Only ten were reportedly captured/killed. Travel to and from these different areas indicated that there were more than was being officially suggested by the end of the event.

Unfortunately, I don't think they have captured/killed every assailant involved, and I think this is going to continue for some time.
