He is also the latest in a string of top US leaders to urge Pakistan to prosecute those responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 6 Americans were among the 166 killed.
"On my previous visit to India, my first stop was the memorial at the Taj hotel to pay my respects to the victims, meet with survivors and send a strong message to the Indian people that we stand together in defence of our security and our way of life," he said referring to the Taj Mahal hotel, one of the several sites in Mumbai targeted by militants of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-toiba.
