Bodies of Mumbai gunmen remain in morgue

MUMBAI, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- No one has claimed the embalmed bodies of nine gunmen killed during a terrorist attack on the Indian city of Mumbai last year, police in India say.

The bodies have been kept in a government hospital morgue since Muslim clerics denied permission to bury them in local graveyards, the BBC reported Friday.

The head of India's Muslim Council Trust says he opposes burying the men in a Muslim cemetery because their actions were un-Islamic.

Ibrahim Tai says if the bodies have to be buried, they should be interred at "an unknown location."

Pakistan has refused to take the bodies despite India's argument that they should go back to the country they came from.

A 10th gunman who survived the November 2008 attack is currently awaiting trial.
