>MANCHESTER, UK A British Euro MP caught up in the terror attacks in Mumbai was greeted by emotional scenes on Friday when he arrived here. Sajjad Karim, who was part of a European Parliament trade delegation staying at the Taj Mahal hotel in India's financial capital when gunmen burst in, embraced his two children while friends and family wept in the northern English city.
Upon arriving at Manchester Airport after flying through Paris and London, the 38-year-old Conservative member of the European Parliament said he was "delighted" to be back, and would take a few days to spend time with his family and reflect on the Mumbai attacks.
"I am delighted and very pleased to be back, and really appreciative of all the messages of goodwill I have had," the Euro MP for northwest England said. -- AFP
