New Delhi, November 26: Remembering victims of the Mumbai terror attacks on the first anniversary today, France demanded that “utmost must be done” to identify, prosecute and sentence the perpetrators of the ghastly incident.
“The investigation must now progress significantly so that light may be thrown on this tragic event. The utmost must be done so that those responsible for this are identified, prosecuted and sentenced,” French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said in a statement.
He recalled that a series of terrorist attacks on Mumbai a year ago had claimed 166 victims.
“These appalling acts aroused horror and indignation all over the world. Today, France shares the memory of the victims and conveys its deepest sympathy to their families,” Kouchner said.
He assured India of France’s unstinting support and determination in the fight against terrorism.
