Mumbai Attacks


MUMBAI - At least three foreign nationals, from Britain, Japan and Australia, have been confirmed killed and many others wounded in coordinated militant attacks in Mumbai, the Press Trust of India said Thursday.

PTI, quoting hospital sources, said two of the dead were a Japanese businessman and a 49-year-old Australian.

It also quoted Britain's High Commissioner to India Sir Richard Stagg as saying a Briton had died.

In Tokyo, Mitsui Marubeni Liquefied Gas Co confirmed one of its Japanese employees had died, identifying him as Hisashi Tsuda, aged 38.

PTI said the wounded foreigners were from Australia, the United States, Spain, Norway, Canada and Singapore. It also said seven British citizens were wounded.

The NDTV news channel said up to nine foreigners were among the dead.

Officials said at least 100 people were killed and hundreds more wounded in the gun and grenade attacks by Islamic militants across India's financial capital that began late on Wednesday.
