Mumbai: Pakistani gunman Ajmal Amir Kasab was today sentenced to death by a special court for the Mumbai terror attacks, three days after he was pronounced guilty of mass murder and waging war against the Indian state. The special anti-terror court of ML Tahaliyani handed down death to 22-year-old Kasab, the lone surviving 26/11 gunman, a year after the trial in the brazen attacks commenced. Kasab was given death penalty on five counts including waging war against the nation, murder, criminal conspiracy and committing terror activities.
Asserting that Kasab's role in the attacks that traumatised the nation fell under the rarest of rare category for giving death sentence, public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had on Tuesday branded him as "a Pakistani killing machine" and a "heartless monster" who revelled in seeing innocent people dying in pain.
