MUMBAI, Nov 29 AP - Officials say the death toll in the terrorist attacks on Mumbai has risen to 195 as more bodies have been discovered after commandos ended the siege on a luxury hotel.
Shantaram Jadhav, an official at Mumbai's disaster control office, says 195 people have been killed and 295 wounded.
Jadhav says "the death toll is likely to rise because there are still bodies in our vans that are being brought into hospitals".
Indian commandos killed the last remaining gunmen holed up at the luxury Taj Mahal hotel on Saturday, ending a 60-hour rampage through India's financial capital by suspected Islamic militants.
