Kasab guilty of all 86 charges
But the court acquitted two Indians, accused of providing logistical support, including maps, to the 10 Pakistani terrorists, who had killed about 170 persons during a 60-hour span from the night of November 26, 2008. The court will pronounce the quantum of sentence against Kasab on Tuesday, after hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defence. Kasab faces the maximum sentence of death. Judge M.L. Tahiliyani declared that Kasab's offence was not just "a simple act of murder, but was a brazen act of war." The kind of preparation that went into the 26/11 terrorist attack was not made by ordinary criminals, said the judge in his 1,500-plus page judgment. Only those waging a war against the state could have done it. Posted by: Steve White 2010-05-04 |
