"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.
