Rabbi Israel Kozlovsky, director of the Chabad House, Mumbai, reacts to the upcoming visit of Baby Moshe. "We are very excited for the upcoming visit of Baby Moshe, who is no more a baby. This is where his life was miraculously saved by the Indian Army. His visit to Nariman House is very emotional and sensitive," the Rabbi said.  Moshe is expected to arrive in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Moshe Holtzberg, the Israeli child who as a toddler survived the 2008 terror attack at a Jewish centre in Mumbai, said he was feeling emotional and excited as he prepared for his homecoming during the six-day visit to India by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Moshe, 11, was two when his parents were killed in the Mumbai attacks at Nariman House (also known as Chabad House) by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists.

The attack on the Nariman House and other locations like the Taj Hotel left 166 people dead.

The boy, standing and crying between his dead parents bodies, was saved in a daring move by his Indian nanny, Sandra Samuels, who was hiding in a room downstairs when the attack happened.
