101 dead as gunmen 'target Britons'
Panic gripped India after heavily-armed terrorists, targeting British and American citizens, killed 101 people, including six foreigners, and wounded 287.
Seven British citizens were injured in the attacks, according to the British High Commissioner in India.
Sir Richard Stagg told the BBC: "We have visited most of the central hospitals where those injured have been taken and have met seven British victims who are in hospital at the moment and we understand there is likely to be some other injured of British nationality."
He refused to discuss the nature of their injuries and added that the nationality of the hostages being held in the city was unknown though some were "foreign".
Prime Minister Gordon Brown described the co-ordinated attacks on different targets across Mumbai, including two luxury hotels, as "outrageous".
The Taj Mahal Palace and Oberoi Trident hotels were surrounded by Indian troops and it was reported some westerners remained there, apparently being held hostage by the terrorists. Hostages are also believed to be being held in an office block in the city's financial district.
The attacks began on Wednesday evening when gunmen stormed sites including the two hotels, a train station, a hospital and a restaurant.
Briton Alex Chamberlain, who was in the city on business, told Sky News he believed the gunmen were looking for British and American visitors. He said: "They told everybody to stop and put their hands up and asked if there were any British or Americans. My friend said to me, 'Don't be a hero, don't say you are British'. I am sure that is what this is all about."
A group called Deccan Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Members of the England cricket team are due to meet the Board of Control for Cricket in India to discuss whether to go ahead with the team's series of one-day matches in the country.
