MUMBAI — A trickle of bodies and hostages emerged from a luxury hotel Thursday as Indian commandos tried to free people trapped by suspected Muslim militants who attacked at least 10 targets in India's financial capital of Mumbai, killing 104 people.
More than 300 were also wounded in the highly co-ordinated attacks Wednesday night by bands of gunmen who invaded two five star hotels, a popular restaurant, a crowded train station, a Jewish centre and at least five other sites, armed with assault rifles, hand grenades and explosives.
Indian officials confirmed that Canadians were among the hostages held by suspected Muslim militants.
State's Deputy Home Secretary Bitin Srimali said foreigners being held captive include Canadians, Americans, British, Italians, Swedes, Yemenis, New Zealanders, Spaniards, Turks, a Singaporean and Israelis.
