Expect those behind 26/11 to meet day of reckoning: Hillary

Ahead of political engagements with the Indian leadership tomorrow, US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton today set the tone for the meetings when she described the grouping of al-Qaeda, Taliban and other terror outfits as a “syndicate of terrorism” and expressed hope that the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks would meet their “day of reckoning”.

Terrorism and Pakistan, her comments reflected, will form a key part of her discussions with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister S M Krishna tomorrow, among other issues.

Stressing that terrorism is a “threat to all”, including those who have provided havens to such elements, and every country should stand up to defeat the menace, Clinton, speaking at the ITC Green building in Gurgaon, said: “We are certainly watching and expecting that there will be justice and those who launched the horrific attacks in Mumbai will meet their day of reckoning.”
