Washington: US State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel has said the US is committed to confronting terrorism across the globe and continues to call for those involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks to be brought to justice.

During a press briefing on Thursday, Patel said: "What I can say is that we are committed to confronting terrorism across the world, and we continue to call for those involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks to be brought to justice."

However, Patel said the issue of the extradition process of one of the 26/11 Mumbai attack convicts Tahawwur Rana is currently pending.

"(It) is a pending extradition matter, and so given the fact that it is pending, I don’t have any specific comment to offer," Patel said.

Tahawwur Rana, a key conspirator in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, was arrested in Los Angeles.

The Pakistani-born Canadian was charged in India with conspiring to plot and carry out the deadly attacks in Mumbai in which over 160 people had lost their lives.
