Rice: No Doubt Mumbai Attacks Were Planned in Pakistan
There’s no doubt” that the deadly attack on India’s financial capital last month was planned inside Pakistan, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told CNN on Sunday.
People in New Delhi, India, take part in a candlelight vigil for the victims of the Mumbai attacks on Sunday.
Her comments to CNN’s “Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer” were the most definitive made by a top-ranking U.S. official regarding Pakistan’s connection to the November 26-29 attack on Mumbai, in which more than 170 were killed and hundreds of others were wounded.
“Well, I think there’s no doubt that Pakistani territory was used by probably non-state actors,” Rice said. “I don’t think that there is compelling evidence of involvement of Pakistani officials. But I do think that Pakistan has a responsibility to act, and it doesn’t matter that they’re non-state actors.”
