Mumbai attacks leave at least 125 dead
MUMBAI – Indian commandos battled into the early hours of Friday to end a multiple hostage crisis in Mumbai after suspected Islamic militants killed 125 people across the city.
Officials said they had almost totally cleared the luxury Taj Mahal hotel where gunmen had been holed up for more than 24 hours after their rampage of gunfire and grenade blasts, military officials said special forces had successfully cleared the landmark Taj Mahal Palace hotel of all but one injured gunman.
Scores of guests had been trapped in their rooms -- too terrified to move.
"We've been waiting for hours and hours for the army to come and say we can go downstairs," said a Western woman, contacted by AFP on her mobile phone late on Thursday, from inside the Oberoi/Trident.
"We have to keep silent. They could be looking for hostages," she said
