MUMBAI: Indian commandos have killed the last Islamic militants holed up inside Mumbai’s Taj Mahal hotel, ending the more than two-day assault on India’s financial capital, the city’s police chief said.

“All (combat) operations are over. All the terrorists have been killed,” Mumbai police commissioner Hassan Gafoor said, 59 hours after the attacks began.

The historic, seafront Taj Mahal hotel was the last area in Mumbai where gunmen were still holed up.

Gafoor said the overall death toll from attacks stood at around 155 confirmed killed.
