Mumbai, July 18 (PTI) US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton Saturday drew a comparison between the Mumbai terror
attacks and 9/11 attacks in the US.

In the message written by her Memorial Tribute at Taj
Hotel here in the India's commercial capital of Mumbai she

of the heroism of the brave men and women whose courage saved
lives and prevented greater harm on 26/11 and 9/11.

Following is the text of her message:

"Americans share a solidarity with this city and nation.
Both our people have experienced the senseless and searing
effects of violent extremism. And both can be grateful and
proud of the heroism of brave men and women whose courage
saved lives and prevented greater harm on 26/11 and 9/11.

"Now it is up to all nations and people who seek peace
and progress to work together. Let us rid the world of hatred
and extremism that produces such nihilistic violence. Our
future deserves no less."

With profound sympathy and resolve.
