      Indian Commandos Clearing Hotels of Living and Dead


      According to media reports coming out of Mumbai, Indian commando units continued Thursday evening to go from room to room of the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels to free dozens of trapped guests and fight armed terrorists who are still holed up in the hotels after Wednesday's terror attacks, which killed at least 110 and wounded 300 in various parts of the city. Gunfire and explosions were heard.

      Four terrorists who barricaded themselves in at the city's Chabad House have offered to free the six Israeli hostages they are holding if their demands are met. A cook who saved an infant at the site said four people were unconscious. Earlier, the Foreign Ministry said it knew of 10-15 Israelis being held hostage across the city and 20-25 additional Israelis who have not made contact with their families in Israel.
