Proceedings in the trial of Ajmal Amir Kasab

A special court will begin proceedings in the trial of Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone surviving terrorist involved the terror attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008, on Wednesday. On Tuesday, a court had adjourned the hearing after prosecution sought time to file its reply on Kasab's confession. Confessing before the court, Kasab said that he and his slain partner Abu Ismail were directed to start firing indiscriminately at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), take hostages and attack those policemen who tried to rescue the hostages. Meanwhile, Kasab's defence lawyer Abbas Kazmi said that his client's admissions could not be treated as confession to the crime. Kasab had pleaded guilty to the offence before a Mumbai court on Monday. For the first time in his confession, Kasab said, "Mujhe mera gunha kabool hai (I plead guilty to my crime)."
