US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said "all relevant parties" should support the resolutions to designate terrorists under the United Nations Security Council's 1267 list. In a recorded message to a special meeting of the UNSC's Counter-Terrorism Committee in Mumbai, he noted that six US citizens were among those who died in the November 2008 terror attacks in the city.

"We stand in solidarity with India and all nations that lost people on that day. But we must do more than mourning. We have the responsibility to the victims and people everywhere to bring justice to the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks and their masterminds,"he said.

"This is why the United States is working with India and other partners for 14 years because when we allow the architects of these attacks to go unpunished, we send a message to terrorists everywhere that their heinous will be tolerated,"he said. (PTI)
