Kasab gets death
2010-05-06

MUMBAI, India – An Indian court sentenced the only surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks to death Thursday, a punishment officials hoped would send a message to archrival Pakistan to stop future violence as fears about the global reach of militancy based on its soil grow.

Judge M.L. Tahaliyani gave Mohammed Ajmal Kasab multiple death sentences for murder, waging war against India, conspiracy and terrorism. He also handed down penalties for over two dozen other offenses ranging to life in prison.

"He shall be hanged by his neck until he is dead," Tahaliyani said.

Kasab cried silently as he heard the penalties, his shoulders shaking as he hid his face with his hand. Guards helped him out of the courtroom briefly for a glass of water.
Awwwww, c'mon, Brave Jihadi Pussy. You guys love death...

#5  Hey Kasab, they usually try to sneak bacon bits in your last few meals.

#4  Does this count as martyrdom?

Not if they tuck a pork chop between his neck and the rope...

#3  Since the rest of his fellow terrorists died in the attacks, what did he expect?
I'm not really up on Sharia. Does this count as martyrdom so that he gets his 72 white raisins?

#2  Death to others, not themselves.

He murdered we-don't-know-how-many entirely innocent others. He couldn't be punished enough, but at least he gets the additional pain of knowing he's going to be killed. Personally, I hope he doesn't stop crying till it happens.
