Ministry: Death toll in Mumbai Jewish centre rises to eight

Tel Aviv - The number of people killed in the terrorist assault on a Jewish centre in Mumbai has risen to eight, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Saturday morning. All of the victims were Israelis or US Jews, the ministry said. Earlier reports had said five people had died in the centre, called Nariman House, but more bodies had been discovered in the past few hours. The ministry confirmed Friday that Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who led the ultra-Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch movement in the Indian commercial capital, and his wife Rivka were among the dead. Their 2-year-old son Moshe was saved by his quick-thinking nanny on Thursday when she hid with him in a room after the gunmen stormed the building. The ministry said Saturday that only two other bodies had been identified. The two men - one a US citizen, the other an Israeli who held a US passport - were kosher food supervisors at the centre.
