The lone surviving Pakistani terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab pleaded guilty in a special court to carrying out Mumbai terror attacks in November last year.
22-year-old Kasab confessed before the special court in Arthur Road jail and narrated his journey from Karachi in Pakistan to Mumbai along with nine other terrorists in a boat and gave details of the attacks at CST and Cama hospital. The co-ordinated attacks left over 166 people dead and hundred others injured. The sudden confession came on the 65th day of the trial, that began after a 11,000-page charge sheet was filed in the case in February this year. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam described Kasab's confession as a big victory for the prosecution.
The Mumbai crime branch in the charge sheet showed 35 Pakistan nationals and operatives of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) as those wanted for the terror attacks and include among others Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Yousif Muzammil, Abu Kahfa, Abu Ramza and Zarar Shah. The list also includes the names of two suspected Pakistani army men - Major General Saab' and Colonel R Saadat Ullah.
