Live News Updates: No country should stand in way of designating terrorists: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday said “all relevant parties” should support the resolutions to designate terrorists under the United Nations Security Council’s 1267 list. In a recorded message to a special meeting of the UNSC’s Counter-Terrorism Committee in Mumbai, he noted that six US citizens were among those who died in the November 2008 terror attacks in the city.

“This is why the United States is working with India and other partners for 14 years because when we allow the architects of these attacks to go unpunished, we send a message to terrorists everywhere that their heinous will be tolerated,” he said. (PTI)
