    Statement on the Terrorist Attacks in Mumbai, India

    November 28, 2008

        Laura and I are deeply saddened that at least two Americans were
    killed and others injured in Wednesday's horrific attack in Mumbai. We
    also mourn the great loss of life suffered by so many people from
    several other countries, and we have the wounded in our thoughts and
    prayers.
        My administration has been working with the Indian Government and
    the international community as Indian authorities work to ensure the
    safety of those still under threat. We will continue to cooperate
    against these extremists who offer nothing but violence and
    hopelessness.
