In pictures: Mumbai attacks


Security forces declared the siege at the Taj Mahal Palace over, although the sound of explosions was still being reported.



The attacks were condemned by governments around the world, including the US and UK, whose citizens were among those apparently targeted by the gunmen.



Gunmen have launched co-ordinated attacks at several sites in the Indian city of Mumbai, killing scores of people. Warning: Some of the following images contain graphic content.



As the injured were taken to hospital following the attacks, an explosion was heard inside the second hotel, the Oberoi-Trident.



Among the targets were two of the city's luxury hotels, taken over by gunmen who entered shooting indiscriminately, witnesses said. At the Taj Mahal Palace, fire engulfed part of the top floor.
