NEW DELHI, Nov 28 (Reuters) - A chief of a Indian commando unit flushing out militants at Mumbai's Taj Mahal Hotel said on Friday that he saw 12 to 15 bodies in one room.

"We found 12-15 bodies," the commander, whose face was disguised in a black scarf and sunglasses, told a news conference.

The commandos found money, ammunition and an identity card from Mauritius thought to have belonged to the militants.
