    In news just in, a special court has held Ajmal Kasab - the lone surviving terrorist from the 26/11 Mumbai attacks - guilty of murder and of waging war against the nation. The verdict comes 17 months after Kasab and nine other terrorists from Pakistan unleashed death and destruction on [India's] financial capital on November 26, 2008.

    26/11 MUMBAI ATTACK: AJMAL KASAB HELD GUILTY

    Is the death penalty still on the statute books in India?

    Yes, but the Supreme Court has ruled that it is to be imposed in only "the rarest of rare cases". The Mumbai attack would probably fall into that category. The prosecutors certainly threw the book at Kasab, because the scores of charges against him included one of not having a platform ticket when he mowed down dozens of people at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.

    No no, you don't understand. It wasn't Pakistanis at all at all. It was a false flag operation.
    Why pages full of posters have confirmed as much on this very thread. Not sure where they are now though.

    We don't know the full story, but it looks like there was prior knowledge of the attack, and it seems likely that Hindu extremists tok the opportunity to eliminate Hemant Karkare, the head of the Mumbi Anti Terror Squad in order to put a stop to his investigation into Hindi sponsored terror which was blamed on Muslims:

    David Headley, who masterminded the mumbai massacre, is now alleged to have been a US agent.

    Indian authorities are furious because the Americans did not share his name with them which would have enabled them to arrest him and possibly prevent or disrupt the attacks.

    Why did US not reveal David Headley’s name? - World - DNA
