Europe plans to send plane to Mumbai

MADRID: European nations plan to send a plane to India to fly their citizens out of Mumbai, where coordinated attacks by Islamic militants left at least 100 dead, Spain's consul in the city said Wednesday.

"I know that there are two initiatives: one from the Spanish government to send a plane, and an initiative on the European level to send a larger plane to allow all Europeans to travel," Cesar Alba said on Spanish National Radio.

Alba said all Spanish nationals in Mumbai had been located, with about 20 having taken refuge in the Spanish consulate. Thursday, AFP
