Huge flames at Mumbai hotel

Nov 27 - Huge flames are seen from an upper floor of Mumbai's Trident-Oberoi Hotel as commandos battle militants.

These pictures were broadcast live on Indian tv on Thursday evening local time (Nov 27, 2008) as there appeared to be a fresh bout of fighting between Indian commandos and Islamist militants at the Trident-Oberoi Hotel, where scores of people have been trapped and some taken hostage.

Commandos earlier freed hostages from the Taj Hotel and have also gathered outside a Jewish centre where militants are thought to be holding a rabbi.

More than 100 people have been killed in a series of assaults in India's financial capital which began on Wednesday.
