Mumbai: Ajmal Kasab was pronounced guilty of waging war, murdering 7 people, and helping to kill 159 others in the 62-hour attack on Mumbai that began on 26/11/2008. Of the ten terrorists who arrived by boat to ravage Mumbai, only Kasab was caught alive.
The judge relied heavily on Kasab's confession, made originally in July 2009 and withdrawn two months later. More than 600 witnesses testified against Kasab in his 11-month trial.
Chilling shots of Kasab in action, caught by a Mumbai photographer, showed a young man with a backpack, sneakers and an AK47, targeting in coldest blood, passengers, shopkeepers, even young children during rush hour on a Wednesday evening. Forensic evidence, DNA samples and phone records helped cross the Ts and dot the Is in the case against Kasab.
