India Won't Forget 26/11: Twitterati pay tribute to 26/11 victims
Mumbai, Nov 26: India won't forget 26/11 easily. In 2008, on this date, the country's busiest metropolitan city and financial capital, Mumbai was attacked by gun-wielding men from Pakistan who killed 166 people and injured hundreds of others.
The lone surviving gunman in the incident, Ajmal Kasab, was executed in Pune's Yerwada jail at 7:30 am on November 21, 2012.
