Pakistan, which is experiencing "Mumbai-like attacks almost every other day", cannot guarantee there will not be a repeat of the 26/11 strikes in India, Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani has told the US.

The US has indicated that the FBI has evidence linking American terror suspect David Coleman Headley and his Pakistani-Canadian accomplice Tahawwur Rana to the deadly Mumbai terror attacks.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday joined sports celebrities Abhinav Bindra and Sania Mirza to show their solidarity against terror at a public event during when he dubbed terrorism a "religion of devils."

The nation on Thursday remembered victims of the Mumbai carnage with their families still coming to terms with the horror unleashed last year on this day that devastated their lives.

On the eve of the first anniversary of the Mumbai carnage, Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said the country had emerged "stronger" after the terror attack and learnt "many hard lessons".

"A lesson has been learnt", a top Mumbai police official said on Friday, adding the security apparatus is well prepared to thwart a repeat of 26/11 after acquiring latest weaponry and technology worth Rs 36 crore.
