France's Nicolas Sarkozy pays tribute to 26/11 martyrs at Police Memorial

France's President Nicolas Sarkozy today paid tributes to the 26/11 martyrs at the Police Memorial dedicated to security men killed during the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

Accompanied by wife Carla Bruni and other French officials, the president laid a wreath in memory of those security personnel who died fighting terrorists in the Mumbai siege.

Sarkozy also observed one-minute silence remembering the martyrs.

In the incident, 166 people were killed by ten terrorists who stormed South Mumbai late on November 26, 2008, targeting a pub, two luxury hotels, country's oldest and biggest railway terminus (CST), a Jewish centre and a hospital, among others.

DGP Sivanandan, Mumbai police commissioner Sanjeev Dayal were among the top police officials present on the occasion.
