Mumbai terrorattackThe terrible incident that took place last year at the financial capital of India, MUMBAI, shook all the Indians in fear. The man accused of being the lone surviving gunman in  Mumbai attacks clearly stated that he was originally from Pakistan.

Firefighters try to douse a fire at the Taj hotel in Mumbai, November 27, 2008.In February, police formally charged Mohammed Ajmal Kasab with “waging war” against India, and his trial began, where he disclosed that armed gunmen killed 166 people in a three-day rampage last November.

He has confessed that he is from Pakistan and has also asked the court for legal assistance, the hearing has concluded and the next date of the trial will be known shortly.The attacks on India’s financial hub sparked renewed tensions between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan, and Islamabad initially denied Kasab was a national before accepting that he was.

India has charged 38 people, including Kasab, in connection with the case.The charge sheet, which runs to some 11,000 pages, contains accounts of more than 2,200 witnesses as well as other evidence provided by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, which helped Indian police with the probe.

Those charged as key planners of the attacks included Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the militant Islamist Lashkar-e-Taiba group India says was behind the attacks, and other senior Lashkar members Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah.
