STORYLINE
Indian commandos killed the last remaining gunmen holed up at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai on Saturday, ending a 60-hour rampage that killed 195 people, as authorities shifted their focus to who was behind the attacks.
Orange flames and black smoke engulfed the landmark 565-room Taj Mahal hotel after dawn Saturday as Indian forces ended the siege there in a hail of gunfire, just hours after elite commandos stormed a Jewish centre and found nine hostages dead.
By Saturday morning the death toll was at 195, the deadliest attack in India since 1993 serial bombings in Mumbai killed 257 people.
But officials said the toll from the three days of carnage was likely to rise as more bodies were brought out of the hotels.
Some 295 people also were wounded in the violence that started when at least a dozen heavily armed assailants attacked 10 sites across Mumbai on Wednesday night.
At least 20 soldiers and police were among the dead.
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief was one of those killed. Hundreds of mourners took part in a state funeral for Hemant Karkare on Saturday.
A previously unknown group calling itself the Deccan Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack, which killed 18 foreigners including six Americans.
Indian officials said the sole surviving gunman was from Pakistan and pointed a finger of blame at their neighbour.
Islamabad denied involvement and promised to help in the investigation.
A team of FBI agents was on its way to India to lend assistance.
India has been shaken repeatedly by attacks blamed on Muslim militants in recent years, but most were bombings striking crowded places: markets, street corners, parks.
Mumbai, one of the most highly populated cities in the world with some 18 (m) million people, was hit by a series of bombings in July 2006 that killed 187 people.
