Washington, DC: A top US military official today said he feared a repeat of a Mumbai-type attack in India which could trigger an Indo-Pak war.
Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, who was on his way to New Delhi, said that he was focusing on efforts to ensure that it does not happen.
"I worry a great deal about a repeat attack, or something like that," Mullen told reporters on board his special plane.
Referring to 26/11, he said the attack demonstrated that a small group of terrorists could have a "strategic impact" and possibly take India and Pakistan to war.
