BRUSSELS, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The European Union condemned a series of attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai in which at least 80 people were killed on Wednesday.

"The French Presidency of the European Union equally condemns the hostage-taking which is continuing in a hotel in Bombay (Mumbai)," France, which holds the rotating presidency of the 27-member bloc, said in a statement.

Television channels said Westerners were being held hostage at two luxury hotels in Mumbai. An EU source said a group of European Parliament deputies was in the city at the time of the attacks. (Reporting by Mark John, editing by Tim Pearce)
