India has right to go after terrorists:
US President-elect Barack Obama said India had every right to go after terrorists to protect itself like any sovereign nation, as the Bush Administration implored Pakistan to realise the ``seriousness'' of the unprecedented Mumbai terror attacks.
``While this figure represents a 25 per cent decrease from the previous year, India remained subject to violent terrorist attacks and continued to be one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba,'' the State Department said in its annual Congressional-required Country Reports on Terrorism 2012.
