OTTAWA, CANADA - A Canadian was killed and two others were injured in the attacks in Mumbai that have claimed at least 130 lives, Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon said Friday.

"We are now able to confirm the tragic death of one Canadian in these attacks," he said in a brief statement.

"Our sincere condolences and thoughts are with the family," he said, adding that for privacy reasons the victim's name was withheld.

The other victim suffered minor injuries and has been released from hospital, he added.

Cannon later announced that five Canadians who had been staying at the targetted Trident and Oberoi hotels, and whose whereabouts were unknown during the terror siege, were accounted for and unharmed.

"All five Canadians originally confirmed in unsafe locations are now safe and meeting with Canadian officials, who are providing them with consular assistance," he said.

He did not say whether they had been taken hostage or had hidden themselves during the ordeal.

Canadian media on Thursday reported that six Canadian nationals staying at two of the luxury hotels targeted by the assailants were unaccounted for.

"Six Canadians, we know, are in the two hotels that were targeted by terrorists," the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation said.

"They're holed up somewhere, (but we're) not prepared to describe them as among those who have been taken hostage, simply that they are in the hotel."

On Wednesday, shortly after 10:3O pm local time, men armed with machine guns and grenades carried out a series of coordinated attacks in Mumbai, killing at least 130 people and injuring some 300.

The militants targeted the historic central train station, a hospital and two luxury hotels.

Canadian media reported Thursday that six Canadians were still holed up in one of the hotels, but it was unclear whether they were in hiding or had been taken hostage.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Thursday he condemns "in the strongest terms the despicable and cowardly attacks."

On behalf of Canadians Harper expressed "deep and profound sympathy and condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and injured by these heinous acts of violence, including many in Canada."

"We offer our support as you work to restore order and bring to justice those responsible for these cowardly attacks against innocent people."

There are about one million Canadians of Indian origin living in Canada, mostly in the Toronto area.
