Sandra Samuel, the daring Indian nanny who risked her life to save baby Moshe Holtzberg during last week's terror strikes in the Jewish Centre in Mumbai, says she felt like a "coward" hiding during the incident and regrets she could not save his parents as well.
Three years ago, Baby Moshe, the unforgettable face of Mumbai attacks, escaped the carnage clinging to his nanny not knowing that his parents were killed, but now a four-year-old he knows they have fallen victims to terrorists.
