The 26/11 Mumbai attacks are among the worst terror strikes ever in India that were carried out by Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. 10 Lashkar terrorists spread across the city and carried out firings and bombings in multiple locations. The entire episode lasted for four days.

Since then, India along with world powers the US, UK, and France have repeatedly asked Pakistan to bring the perpetrators to justice, but no such action was taken by Pakistan.

India has further shared detailed evidence with Pakistan on a number of occasions but Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed continues to run his organization.
