MUMBAI, India, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Eleven policemen were killed in a series of attacks by gunmen on sites in India's financial centre, including luxury hotels full of foreign tourists, a top government official said on Thursday.

It was not clear if the 11 policemen were included among the 80 people already said to be killed in the attacks. At least 250 people were also wounded.

"Eleven of our policemen laid down their lives, including five good officers," said Vilasrao Deshmukh, chief minister of India's Maharashtra state. (Reporting by Mumbai bureaux; Editing by Paul Tait)
