Obama pays tribute to Mumbai attack victims

US President Barack Obama began his 10-day trip to Asia on a sombre note today, paying tribute to the victims of the devastating terror attacks that tore through Mumbai two years ago.

Speaking at the Taj Mahal hotel, a target of the 60-hour siege that killed 166 people across the Indian city, the president vowed: “We’ll never forget,” and said he intended to send a signal by staying at the hotel during his visit to the city.
