TIL Desk/World/Washington/ While praising the resiliency of Mumbaikars on the 13th anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has emphasised the need for a speedy trial of the perpetrators of the carnage carried out by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorists in 2008.
On November 26, 2008, a group of 10 LeT terrorists from Pakistan went on a rampage, carrying out coordinated attacks on a railway station, two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre in Mumbai, after they sneaked into India’s financial capital using the sea route in the Arabian Sea.
As many as 166 people, including six Americans, were killed in the nearly 60-hour assault that sent shockwaves across the country and even brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war. Thirteen years have passed since the 26/11 terrorist attack in Mumbai. On today’s anniversary, we remember the victims, including six Americans, and the resiliency of Mumbaikars. It is long overdue for the perpetrators to face justice,’ Blinken said in a tweet on Friday.
