Let's observe a minute of silence...

May the Lord bless the souls of those who are unfortunately sacrificed in this terror incident; and even more so, may the Lord give strength to those who are affected to stay strong and live a more fulfilled life in place of those who had suffered.

SINGAPORE - A Singaporean taken hostage during coordinated attacks across India's commercial capital of Mumbai has been killed, the foreign ministry said Friday.

Lo Hoei Yen, 28, was identified by her husband, who was accompanied by Singapore's high commissioner, Jai Sohan, consular director of the foreign ministry, told reporters at a late-night news conference.

"We were only told, confirmed, at 21:35 hours (1335 GMT) this evening that she had suffered a tragic death," Sohan said.

Her body was found on the 19th floor of the Oberoi/Trident hotel, he said.

At least 93 people, most of them foreigners, were released Friday from the Oberoi/Trident hotel more than 36 hours after armed militants seized the building, police said.

Mumbai's police chief said 24 bodies were found at the hotel after rescue operations concluded.
