TIMELINE: Attack on Mumbai

(Reuters) - Mumbai on Sunday cleaned up the streets where Islamist gunmen rampaged and killed nearly 200 people over three days, while Indian anger over the attack's alleged Pakistani links threatened the nuclear rivals' ties.

Following is a timeline of the attacks on Mumbai:

* WEDNESDAY:

-- Islamist gunmen attack Mumbai in at least seven places shortly after 10.30 p.m. The group of militants armed with automatic rifles and grenades attack targets including luxury hotels -- the Taj Mahal and the Trident Oberoi -- hospitals, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and the popular Leopold cafe.

-- Gunmen remain holed up in the hotels and at Chabad House, a popular stop for Israeli visitors. Many are reported killed and the army begins moving into the Trident Oberoi hotel.

-- Police say at least some of the attackers came ashore in a rubber dinghy.

-- The chief of the police anti-terrorist squad in Mumbai is killed in the attack.

* THURSDAY:

-- Commandos fight room-to-room battles in the two hotels to rescue people trapped by the gunmen. Explosions rattle the Taj Mahal hotel where some hostages are rescued.

-- Prime Minister Manmohan Singh blames militant groups based in India's neighbors, usually meaning Pakistan.

-- Pakistan condemns the attacks and promises full cooperation in fighting terrorism.

* FRIDAY:

-- India points a finger at Pakistani-linked "elements" for the attacks in Mumbai.

-- At the Trident Oberoi Hotel, commandos kill two militants and free 143 guests.

-- Lone gunmen continue to hold out at the nearby Taj Mahal hotel.

-- Five hostages inside the besieged Jewish center are found dead.
