India takes action

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has opened cross-party talks on setting up a federal agency of investigation after the Mumbai attacks.



He says they were to discuss a new legal framework following the gun and bomb attacks that caused at least 172 deaths in the commercial capital.



Questions have been asked about India\'s failure to pre-empt the attacks, and the time taken to eliminate the gunmen.



India\'s home minister has resigned, saying he took moral responsibility for the killings.



The attacks have also increased tensions with Pakistan after allegations that the gunmen had Pakistani links.



Indian troops killed the last of the gunmen at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel on Saturday.
