STORYLINE
Police patrolled the shattered Taj Mahal hotel and the Oberoi hotel in Mumbai on Tuesday as India's financial hub returned to some degree of normality in the wake of the 60-hour siege.
India has demanded that Islamabad hand over about 20 militants believed to be living in Pakistan, including India's most-wanted man.
Officials say the names were given to Pakistan's High Commissioner to India during a meeting on Monday night.
The list includes Dawood Ibrahim, the alleged mastermind of 1993 Mumbai bombings and India's most-wanted man.
He is thought to be living in Pakistan, though Islamabad denies that.
India's foreign intelligence agency received information as recently as September that Pakistan-based militants were plotting attacks against Mumbai targets, according to a government intelligence official familiar with the matter.
The information was then relayed to domestic security officials, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorised to talk publicly about the details.
Pakistan has repeatedly insisted it was not behind the Mumbai attacks.
The latest developments came as the government faced widespread accusations of security and intelligence failures in the Mumbai attacks that left at least 172 people dead and 239 injured.
The sole surviving attacker, Ajmal Qasab, told police that his group trained over about six months in camps operated by the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, learning close-combat techniques, hostage-taking, handling of explosives, satellite navigation and high-seas survival skills, according to two Indian security officials familiar with the investigation.
Lashkar was banned in Pakistan under pressure from the US in 2002, a year after Washington and Britain listed it a "terrorist group".
The US has urged Islamabad to cooperate with the investigation.
While the cross-border rhetoric between Pakistan and India has increased since the attacks, both countries - by their often-antagonistic standards - carefully refrained from making statements that could quickly lead to a build-up of troops along their heavily militarised frontier.
