Mumbai militants showed no remorse: commando

MUMBAI: An Indian marine commando who battled militants room to room in a Mumbai hotel said on Friday the guerrillas showed no remorse and fired at anyone who moved.

"They were the kind of people with no remorse -- anybody and whomsoever came in front of them they fired," the black-clad masked commando, who belonged to India's crack Marine Commando Force known as MARCOS, told reporters.

"We could have got those terrorists but for so many hotel guests," he said in Mumbai.

"The bodies were lying strewn here and there. There was blood all over and in trying to avoid the casualty of those civilians, we had to be that much more careful," he said.
