Ten terrorists carried out the attacks on India's financial hub Mumbai last week, all of them arriving by boat from Pakistan's port city of Karachi, Mumbai's police chief Hasan Gafoor said Tuesday at a press briefing, according to dpa. Gafoor said the one terrorist captured by the police had admitted he came from Punjab province of Pakistan. Nine of the terrorists were killed during the stand-off with security forces that began late Wednesday and ended Saturday. "Investigations are at an advanced stage. I would not like to reveal further details," Gafoor said at the televised briefing. He said the terrorists initially traveled 12 nautical miles with their first boat, before hijacking an Indian fishing trawler. Once they were near the Mumbai coast, they transferred to an inflatable dinghy to land at Cuffe Parade, near the Gateway of India. They then divided into five groups of two men each and took five taxis to their destinations. The terrorists targeted, among other places, two luxury hotels - the Taj and the Oberoi-Trident - Mumbai's main railway station, a cafe popular with foreigners, a hospital and a Jewish centre. They fired indiscriminately and lobbed grenades killing 188 people, including 30 foreigners. More than 300 were injured. Gafoor said they also planted five bombs - three in taxis, one inside the Oberoi and one outside the Taj.
