Troops search Mumbai siege hotel


Troops have been searching through Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel, hours after an assault ended a bloody three-day siege there.

Commandos went room-to-room to check for casualties, while small blasts were heard from controlled explosions.

A military commander said three militants were killed in the final gun battle, which ended early on Saturday.

Militants attacked the hotel and other targets on Wednesday night, in violence that left at least 195 people dead.

Witnesses spoke of a scene of destruction at the Taj Mahal hotel, parts of which had been ablaze during the siege.
