{India is marking the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai attacks with the masterminds still at large, and New Delhi continuing to pressure Pakistan to bring the accused to book.}<\/p>\n
The attacks in India\u2019s commercial capital, began on November 26, 2008, and lasted for three days, killing at least 166 people and wounding 308 others.<\/p>\n
India says the attacks targeting five locations across Mumbai were carried out by armed groups based in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
One of the culprits Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani national, was caught during the attack and sentenced to death by an Indian court in August 2012. He was hanged three months later.<\/p>\n
India has demanded from Pakistan that the people behind the attack be brought to justice and that Islamabad waste no more time in completing the trial of the accused.<\/p>\n
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, at a meeting with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September, promised to take action against the culprits behind the attack.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, a spokesman of the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, said it was important that the perpetrators of the terrible crime be brought to justice, according to the PTI news agency.<\/p>\n
The agency quoted the spokesperson, Martin Nesirky, as saying that it was a “terrible crime, an awful terrorist attack.”<\/p>\n
