On the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks, US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, on Sunday paid tributes to the victims at the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Washington’s determination to combat terrorism with New Delhi was reiterated by the US envoy.
“Today marks the 15th anniversary of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. We honour the memory of the victims lost and pledge to continue to fight against acts of terror together with the Government of India,” Garcetti posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Earlier, Israel envoy Naor Gilon also paid homage to the victims at the Chabad House memorial, which has the names of all victims engraved on its walls.
“15 years since the #MumbaiTerrorAttack #UnitedWeStand. This picture is from the Nariman (Chabad) House rooftop memorial where the names of all #Mumbai2611 victims are engraved. Om Shanti,” Gilon posted on X.
Notably, 166 people were killed in the attacks, including six Jews. The 26/11 attackers were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), which Israel recently formally recognized. The Union government has not made any requests for this action to be taken. While paying his respects to the victims of the terror attacks of 26/11, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that India is still working to bring those responsible for these heinous acts to justice.
