Parallel to the trial in India, a separate 26/11 trial began in Pakistan – as an official testimony of the government there that the Mumbai attack was planned in that country.
Thirteen years ago, on this day, 10 terrorists from Pakistan began bloodbath in Mumbai, which was shell-shocked for four days. More than 165 people lost their lives. One of the 10 terrorists, identified as Ajmal Kasab, was captured alive. He was from Pakistan’s Faridkot district.
Ajmal Kasab was captured on the night of November 26 itself. He was injured and was given medical treatment to ensure that he stayed alive. He was questioned in police custody for 81 days, during which he revealed how the 26/11 terror attack was planned in Pakistan. It was a handiwork of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba and managed and supervised by the Pakistan Army’s spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
