MUMBAI, India � A state official says the siege has ended at Mumbai's Taj Mahal hotel and the last three gunmen there have been killed.

An official of the Maharashtra state home department, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, also said eight hostages have been freed from the Mumbai headquarters of the ultra-orthodox Jewish outreach group Chabad Lubavitch.

He had no further details and did not identify any of those released.

At least 119 people were killed and 288 injured when suspected Islamic militants attacked 10 sites in India's financial capital.
