Mumbai rocked by deadly shootings
Gunmen have opened fire at a number of sites in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay), killing at least 10 people and injuring others, local reports say.
Police said the shootings appeared to be terrorist attacks.
Gunmen opened fire in at least seven sites, including a train station, two five-star hotels, a hospital and a restaurant popular with tourists.
There has been a wave of bombings in Indian cities in recent months which has left scores of people dead.
Most of the attacks have been blamed on Muslim militants, although police have also arrested suspected Hindu extremists.
At least two blasts, suspected to be grenade attacks, were reported alongside Wednesday's shootings.
Police said the gunmen had fired indiscriminately.

There are reports of attacks at seven locations
"The terrorists have used automatic weapons and in some places grenades have been lobbed," said AN Roy, police commissioner of Maharashtra state.
