MUMBAI, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Indian security forces continued the search for terrorists and victims Saturday as investigators tried to determine who was behind the attacks in Mumbai.
The death toll was put at 183 late Saturday, plus at least 11 gunmen, CNN reported. At least 17 police officers were killed, including Hemant Karkare, the head of the city's anti-terrorism squad, who was remembered Saturday night at a vigil in Shivaji Park.
Police found a cell phone on an abandoned boat floating off the coast that had been used to make calls to Jalalabad, Pakistan, CNN-IBN said. The body of the captain was found on board, his hands bound behind his back, and four crew members were missing, suggesting that the boat had been hijacked.
The attack began Wednesday night with gunmen hitting two five-star hotels, the Taj Mahal and the Trident-Oberoi, Chabad House, a Jewish community center, a hospital and other targets.
The search continued for bodies at the Taj Mahal. At least 36 people were found dead at the Oberoi and five at Chabad House, including two rabbis from the United States, CNN said. The New York Times identified one as Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, 29, of Brooklyn, and said his Israeli wife, Rivka, was also killed.
