Two British men were among the 8 captured terrorists in Mumbai.
The Telegraph reported:

Two British-born Pakistanis were among eight gunmen seized by Indian commandos who stormed buildings to free hostages, Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Mumbai, reportedly said.

The Foreign Office earlier said it was investigating reports on NDTV, a local television news channel, that the terrorists – who swarmed luxury hotels and other tourist sites in the city – included “British citizens of Pakistani origin”.

On the claim that Britons could have been among the perpetrators, he said: “I would not want to be drawn into early conclusions about this.
