Bush pledges support for India

WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush yesterday pledged full U.S. support to India as it investigates the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai, saying the killers "will not have the final word."

"The people of India are resilient. The people of India are strong. ... They can withstand this trial," Bush said at the White House.

On Friday night, President-elect Barack Obama called Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh "to express condolences for those killed in the terrorists attacks in Mumbai and to let him know that his thoughts and prayers are with the people of India," according to an Obama aide who spoke on condition of anonymity yesterday.
