Gunmen were on drugs during Mumbai attacks

The thugs responsible for last week's attacks in Mumbai fueled their terror binge with cocaine and hallucinogens, Indian officials say.

"We found injections containing traces of cocaine and LSD left behind by the terrorists and later found drugs in their blood," one official told London newspaper the Telegraph. Syringes and other drug paraphernalia were found on the scene of the horrific crimes.

The drugs help explain how the 10 young men were able to fight hundreds of Indian commandos for 50 hours without stopping to eat or sleep. One terrorist fought for 6 hours despite a severe wound to his thigh before later being killed by commando fire.

Officials also found evidence of steroid use, which they say is not uncommon among terrorists.
