<p>Police officers inspect a car after they shot dead two suspects in Mumbai, India, on late Wednesday night November 26, 2008. Teams of heavily armed gunmen stormed luxury hotels, a popular restaurant, hospitals and a crowded train station in coordinated attacks across India&#8217;s financial capital Wednesday night, killing at least 78 people and taking Westerners hostage, police said.
