Seventeen years after the 26/11 attacks, one of the deadliest terrorist attack in India’s history, Mumbai today remembers the horrific night when 10 Pakistan-backed Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists launched a coordinated wave of terror on November 26, 2008.
People from different walks of life in Mumbai got together on Wednesday to commemorate the martyrs and victims of the terror attacks in the city on November 26, 2008 and pay tributes.
French Ambassador to India, Thierry Mathou, paid tribute to the victims on the 17th anniversary of the 26/11 terror attack, which took place in Mumbai in 2008.
India's Ambassador to Israel, Pavan Kapoor, speaking at the event stressed that the worst terrorist attack on the Indian soil 'should motivate the world to unite against terrorism and defeat the ideology of hatred'.
Some 166 people, including Americans, were killed in the attack carried out by Pakistan-based 10 Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists.
The announcement came on the eve of the tenth anniversary of the assault, which left 166 people dead and hundreds injured after terrorists from Pakistan unleashed a wave of violence across Mumbai lasting three days.
