Ajmal Kasab

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab ( Urdu محمد اجمل امیر قصاب; * July 13, 1987 ; † November 21, 2012 in Pune , India ) was a Pakistani terrorist . He was the only survivor of the November 26, 2008 attacks in Mumbai .

The trial against Kasab opened in April 2009 and, by Indian standards, was quickly settled. Two Indians were charged with him and were acquitted. There were 86 charges brought against Kasab in a special court, including murder and warfare against India . 650 witnesses were heard during the proceedings. Kasab was on 6 May 2010 to death by the strand convicted. The court thus complied with the public prosecutor's request and did not allow any mitigating circumstances. The Indian public welcomed the verdict. The verdict was upheld by the Bombay High Court in 2011 and by the Indian Supreme Court in late August 2012 . His subsequent petition for clemency to President Pranab Mukherjee was denied. On November 21, 2012, Kasab was executed in a prison in Pune .
