Three Americans injured in Mumbai attacks: US official

WASHINGTON: Three US nationals were among those wounded in the attacks in Mumbai that left more than 100 dead, a State Department spokesman said on Thursday.

"The information we do have is that three Americans have been injured," spokesman Rob McInturff said.

Details about the nature of their injuries were not yet available, the spokesman said.

There were no confirmed reports of Americans held hostage or killed, he said.

Almost 300 people have been reported wounded in the attacks which have been claimed by a group calling itself the Deccan Mujahedeen.

An Australian, a Britain, an Italian, a German, and a Japanese were among foreigners confirmed dead in the attacks on luxury hotels -- while Americans, Israelis, Canadians and a Jewish rabbi were said to be among those still held hostage.
