T
he United States has reiterated its strong support for India’s ongoing efforts to bring those responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks to justice, while paying tribute to the victims and expressing solidarity with their families and survivors. Marking the anniversary of the devastating attacks, the US Embassy in India reaffirmed its commitment to stand with the Indian government in the global fight against terrorism and to strengthen cooperation aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens.
In its statement, the Embassy highlighted the extradition of Tahawwur Hussain Rana as a significant step forward in the pursuit of justice. Rana, a Pakistani-Canadian national linked to the planning of the 2008 attacks, was handed over to Indian authorities following the rejection of his legal appeals in the United States. His extradition underscores the deepening collaboration between the two nations in addressing cross-border terrorism and holding high-profile conspirators accountable.
The 26/11 attacks remain one of the darkest chapters in India’s modern history, involving a coordinated assault on multiple locations across Mumbai, including iconic landmarks and public spaces. The tragedy claimed numerous lives and left a lasting impact on the nation’s collective conscience.
Reaffirming shared values and mutual resolve, both India and the United States continue to enhance their strategic partnership in counter-terror operations, intelligence sharing, and law enforcement cooperation. The renewed pledge to combat extremism reflects a unified stand against acts of terror and a determination to prevent such atrocities in the future while honoring the memory of those who lost their lives.
