A relative of a child rescued from the attack on a Jewish center in Mumbai says the child's grandparents have arrived to take custody of him. His parents' fate remains unknown.

Yitzhak Dovid Grossman says Shimon and Yehudit Rosenberg have arrived in Mumbai and have been reunited with their 2-year-old grandson Moshe. The child was saved by a woman who works at the Jewish outreach center run by his parents, Gavriel and Rivki Holtzberg.

The center was targeted in the Mumbai assault and his parents remain trapped inside with other hostages.

Speaking to Israel's Army Radio on Friday, Grossman said there was an "eruption of emotion" when the grandparents met their grandson. But he said they soon resumed worrying about what is happening with Rivki and her husband.
