'Briton among Mumbai dead'

At least one Briton was among more than 100 people killed in a series of terrorist attacks in India, an official said.

A Briton, an Australian and a Japanese man were killed by gunmen storming a number of targets in Mumbai, a spokesman at the Maharashtra state home ministry said.

The British Foreign Office said it was aware of the report but it was "not something we can confirm".

The attacks have led to the postponement of the remaining fixtures in the England cricket team's one-day tour of India.

At least seven Britons are among hundreds wounded as a result of the raids, in which gunmen apparently targeted Westerners.

The British High Commissioner in India Sir Richard Stagg told the BBC: "We have visited most of the central hospitals where those injured have been taken and have met seven British victims who are in hospital at the moment and we understand there is likely to be some other injured of British nationality."
