MUMBAI, India - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Saturday gave an impassioned defense of American demands that India and other countries do more to tackle terrorism and global warming.

Opening a three-day visit to India, Clinton sought to emphasize common interests, symbolized by the terrorist attacks in this city last November that killed 166 people.

"It must be stopped," she said, adding that the United States cannot do it alone.

It was the first event of her day, however, that underscored most strongly the central message she carried from Washington.

"The bottom line for me is, our government is committed in the fight against terrorism," she told reporters.

"And we expect everyone" who shares the American desire to end violent extremism "to take strong action to prevent terrorism from taking root on their soil and making sure that terrorists are not trained and deployed - and we believe that around the world."
