Mumbai, India - The official death toll in Mumbai stands at 188, including six Americans. Over 300 were wounded in the terrorist attacks that the Indian government blames on militants trained in Pakistan.

Today, security officials say they have scoured and cleared the luxury Taj Majal Hotel of booby traps and bodies. But the interior paints a different picture. Three days of a bloody battle left the once-opulent landmark debris, gutted halls, and bullet-riddled walls.

At Nariman House, where an American rabbi and his wife were killed, Israeli investigators are searching the scenes for clues.

Indian officials are also learning more from 21-year-old Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only militant captured alive. He reportedly says he belongs to the Pakistani-based Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, and trained at a camp in Pakistan.

Now that the finger of blame is being pointed at India's nuclear neighbor, Pakistan, tensions are on the rise.

Pakistan's president denies any involvement and has asked India not to punish his country for the attacks, saying the militants could trigger a war .

As Secretary Rice makes her way to India to restore the relationship between the two nations, her message is clear: Pakistan, she said, must display "absolute transparency and cooperation."

In India, the political fallout from the attacks is just beginning as several political ministers have resigned. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh argues, "In the face of this national threat and in the aftermath of this national tragedy, all of us from different political parties must rise above narrow political considerations and stand united."
