London: British Member of Parliament Bob Blackman remembered those who lost their lives in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack incident and said  those who support the terrorism must never succeed and terrorism must be eradicated.

He condemned the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba terrorists and said in a video post: "On this day, back in the 2008 terrorist attacks began that culminated four days later in the death of all terrorists but one. We condemn the terrorists from Lashkar-e-Tayyiba group from Pakistan and various other masters that encourage the terrorists and promoted them. We must never let the terrorist win.”

"What we do know is that what happened on this day some 12 years ago must never be repeated Terrorism must be always eradicated. Those who support terrorism must never succeed," he said.

India marked the 12th anniversary of the attack on Nov 26 which left 166 people killed.

Ajmal Kasab, the only attacker who was captured alive, later confessed upon interrogation that the attacks were conducted with the support of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Kasab was hanged on Nov 21, 2012 at Yerwada Jail in Pune.

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai - at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital (a women and children's hospital), the Nariman House Jewish community centre, the Metro Cinema, and a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier's College.

There was also an explosion at Mazagaon, in Mumbai's port area, and in a taxi at Vile Parle.
