A US Congressional subcommittee will hold a hearing on the Mumbai terrorist attacks next week to discuss the lessons America can learn from the ghastly incident.

"The hearing 'Building a Strategic Partnership: US-India Relations in the Wake of Mumbai' would be held on February 26," Gary Ackerman, Chairman, the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Middle East and South Asia said.

Among important individuals asked to testify before the subcommittee are Karl F Inderfurth, the Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs in the Clinton administration; and Lisa Curtis, senior research fellow at the Asian Studies Centre of the Heritage Foundation.

Last month, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held two hearings on Mumbai terrorist strikes and the lessons the US learnt from it.
