The standoff continues but not many answers yet about the attackers. From CNN:

Authorities said the death toll from the coordinated attacks carried out on at least seven sites Wednesday was at 125, including at least six foreigners and 14 police officers. Some 327 people were wounded.

Soldiers and police have suffered a number of casualties while fighting the terrorists inside the Taj, Thamburaj said, declining to give more details because he believed the information could aid the attackers.

Members of India's premier counterterrorist force were also seeking to end standoffs at another luxury hotel, The Oberoi, and the Jewish center, known as the Nariman House.

Two dozen soldiers could be seen rappelling down ropes from military choppers onto the roof of the Nariman House early Friday.

For hours afterward, throngs of onlookers heard sounds of gunfire and at least 10 explosions coming from inside.
