Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, the main killer terrorist in the Mumbai 26/11 attacks, Monday confessed to his role & admitted he was a Pakistani and narrated in chilling detail the events leading to the killing spree that left 180 people dead in the most brutal terror attack India has seen.
Kasab recounted how he and his associates undertook the sea voyage from Karachi to Mumbai to strike at 13 locations here on the night of Nov 26, 2008.
Kasab’s confession included minute details of his role in the attacks on the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and Cama Hospital nearby
He revealed in the court names of his Pakistani handlers, including Abu Hamza, Abu Jindal, Abu Kafa and Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who saw them off when they boarded a ship at Karachi.
Hamza, who Indian intelligence agencies believe was behind the attack on the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore in December 2005, advised them on how to go about the terror attacks, said Kasab. He also described how he placed a bomb in a taxi that later exploded at Mazagaon, a south Mumbai area.
Naming Lakhvi of the Lashkar-e-Taiba as ‘the mastermind’ behind the Mumbai attacks, Kasab recounted how he and his associate Abu Ismail (who was shot by the police) went to a CST public toilet and assembled one of the bombs by installing a timer on it for use later.
He stunned the courtroom by giving details of his encounters with then Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare and his associate Vijay Salaskar inside Cama Hospital and how he finally killed him.
Kasab described how the entire journey from Karachi to Mumbai was completed in four different boats at various locations in the Arabian Sea and how they finally landed in South Mumbai’s Colaba in an inflatable rubber dingy, opposite Badhwar Park, the residence of top railway officials.
Kasab interspersed his shocking confessional with the statements given by several of the 124 witnesses already examined by Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam to prove his statements.
According to Nikam, Kasab’s confession came after he discussed the entire issue with his government-appointed lawyer S.G. Abbas Kazmi.
‘This is a victory of truth, and a victory for the prosecution. His confession came all of a sudden and he has admitted to all the crimes against him,’ Nikam said.
