Thousands of people have gathered in front of Mumbai's Taj Mahal Hotel to protest against what they say were government security failures, missed warnings, and a bungled response to the devastating attacks.

The protesters also held a candlelit vigil to mark one week since the attackers began the three-day killing spree.

India had reportedly received a warning from the US that militants were plotting a waterborne assault on Mumbai, according to a US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

And a government intelligence familiar with the matter says India's foreign intelligence agency also had warnings as recently as September that Pakistan-based militants were plotting attacks on Mumbai.
