Funerals were held in India on Sunday for many of the victims of the Mumbai terror attacks, which claimed the lives of almost 200 people.

In Mumbai, a special memorial service was held for police officials killed in the attacks.

A funeral for the victims in the terror attacks is held at Shivaji Park Crematorium in Mumbai, India, Nov. 30, 2008.  India's longest terror nightmare that lasted for almost 59  hours ended Saturday. Mumbai disaster authorities put the  death toll to 195 and the injured 295, but the toll is rising  as more bodies were collected from the attacked places.

At least three top police officers - including the chief of the anti-terror squad - were among the casualties.

Other residents of Mumbai also began cremating their dead.

One day after the siege ended, authorities are still removing bodies from the Taj Mahal Hotel.

Indian authorities say the gunmen may have arrived in Mumbai on a trawler. One day after the attacks began, an abandoned trawler was found, drifting off the coast with a bound corpse aboard.

The government suspects the gunmen then transferred to a dinghy and docked at a fishermen's colony near the two hotels and the Jewish center targeted in the assaults.
