Pressure mounts on Pakistan over Mumbai attack

SOLDIERS removed the last bodies from the shattered Taj Mahal hotel yesterday as India formally demanded Pakistan take “strong action” against those behind the 60-hour siege that left at least 172 people dead.

The US, meanwhile, called on Pakistan to fully co-operate with investigations into the attack, which India has blamed on a banned Pakistani militant group.

Mumbai’s most influential Muslim cemetery meanwhile, rejected the corpses of nine of the gunmen and said: “Islam does not permit this sort of barbaric crime.”
