Indian commandos have killed the last remaining gunman at Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel, ending the siege there and bringing to a close an ordeal that started with a series of attacks across the city three days ago.
Indian officials said on Saturday that all of the attackers had now been killed or captured, about 59 hours after the attacks began.
"All [combat] operations are over," Hasan Gafoor, Mumbai's police chief, said.
Officials said that 183 people had been killed in the attacks. They included 141 civilians, 22 of whom were foreigners.
Other reports put the death toll at over 200 and there were concerns that it could further rise as emergency services combed the rooms at the Taj Mahal hotel for more bodies.
Twenty policemen were also killed in the attacks, officials said and at least another 295 people have been injured.
Taj siege
Indian commando units emerged from the smoke-filled Taj hotel and firemen moved in to douse a fierce blaze on Saturday morning.
Sniffer dogs were later taken into the hotel as security forces made a final sweep through the rooms of the building.
James Bays, Al Jazeera's correspondent at the scene, said some Indian news journalists had been allowed into the hotel amid the clean-up operations.
"The media have been allowed a lot closer to the hotel to see what has gone on here. When you look up close you can really see the kind of battle that has taken place here. You can see glass on the ground, bullet holes ... parts of the hotel are burnt out," he said.
The Mumbai attacks began on Wednesday night, when armed men attacked 10 locations around the city, later taking hostages at the Taj Mahal and Trident-Oberoi hotels and at a Jewish centre at the Nariman House.
Special forces ended the sieges at the Nariman House and the Trident-Oberoi hotel late on Friday.
At the Trident-Oberoi hotel, commandos found 24 bodies after gaining control of the building, while the bodies of several hostages, including the rabbi who ran the Jewish centre, were recovered from Nariman House.
Commandos were said to have rescued a total of 610 people from the three siege locations.
Indians mourned the dead and began cremating those who lost their lives. Thousands turned up at the funeral of Hemant Karkare, Mumbai's anti-terrorism squad chief, who was killed in the attacks.
Attacker captured
There was speculation about how many attackers had taken part in the deadly, cordinated attacks across India's financial capital.
Vilasrao Deshmukh, state chief minister for Maharashtra, said that there were 10 attackers.
"Nine were killed and one was captured," he said. "We are interrogating him."
There was speculation that the attacks had been carried out by two coordinated groups.
One group entered Mumbai by boat, while others were believed to have rented property in the city, stockpiling arms and explosives, before the attacks were launched.
