US today said it was Pakistan’s “duty and obligation” to bring the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks to justice as quickly as possible.

Robert Blake,Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs,said the US has always taken LeT,the terror outfit which carried out the 26/11 attacks,seriously.
