MUMBAI, India – Indian commandoes scoured two luxury hotels room-by-room for survivors and holed-up militants Friday and were in a tense standoff at a Jewish center, more than a day after a chain of attacks across Mumbai by suspected Muslim militants left at least 119 people dead.

Security forces searched the rooms at the hotels — two of the top gathering spots for the Mumbai elite — but there were no gunbattles or blasts.
