Hang Me For Mumbai Attacks: Kasab Tells Court

Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only gunman on trial for the terrorist attacks on Mumbai, on Wednesday told a court he had not been forced to confess his guilt and was under no pressure.

“I did not confess under pressure... I should be hanged if the court decides so,” said Kasab before a special court which is trying him for his role in terror attacks on Mumbai in November.He recounted how Lashkar-e-Toiba militants had trained him and then packed him for the attack on Mumbai.

“I want to be punished for what I have done. I made my confession without pressure. I have not confessed to get any leniency,” he said.

Kasab, who made a dramatic confession before special judge M L Tahilyani on Monday, gave additional details about the conspiracy on Tuesday. He said his handlers had given him detailed instructions for the attack on the CST Railway Terminus.

“I want to give a message to perpetrators across the border,” said Kasab.

Judge Tahilyani then adjourned the court for Tuesday, as the prosecution wanted more time to go over Kasab's statements.

Kasab on Monday admitted before the court he was a Pakistani and narrated in chilling detail the events leading to the killing spree that left 180 people dead.In a dramatic twist to the case, Kasab also recounted how he and his associates undertook the sea voyage from Karachi to Mumbai to attack 13 locations in Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008.
