http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/3628614/Mumbai-attacks-police-admit-there-were-more-than-ten-attackers.html">India's police have acknowledged for the first time that more than ten terrorists carried out the Mumbai attack - and at least two managed to escape.

Computer-generated photographs of two suspects, who are believed to be on the run, were circulated to Mumbai's police stations. Until this development, the number of gunmen was officially placed at 10 - with nine killed in the fighting and another captured alive.

But the orders for police to hunt two suspects indicates that at least 12 terrorists raided prominent targets cross the city. Eleven days after the attacks, the definitive number of gunmen is still unknown, with some estimates ranging as high as 24.

Bhujangrao Shinde, deputy commissioner of Mumbai police, said that the two suspects were taken by taxi across Mumbai, just as the first attacks were launched on Nov 26. The taxi dropped the men at a bus stop in the north of the city.
