NEW DELHI, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- A hostage crisis continued in Mumbai, India, with over 10 hostages still in Taj Hotel and another 100 people being believed to be trapped in Oberoi hotel, police said Friday.

It's over 35 hours since Mumbai was taken over by terrorist attack. And there's still no end to the nightmare.

Five Chinese people were among the trapped in Oberoi, said Zhang Longhai, an official of the Chinese Consulate-General in Mumbai.

Operations are still on in these two five-star hotels. At the Oberoi, there are believed to be two or three terrorists. No report of the exact number of remaining terrorists inside the Taj hotel now.

"At least one injured terrorist is inside Taj hotel. The stage seems to be set for a final operation there," police said.

So far, 125 people have been killed, including 14 policemen andsix foreigners, and 250 injured in a series of terrorist attacks in Mumbai since Wednesday evening.
