Gunman Pleads Guilty to Mumbai Attacks

Share

(Newser) – The only surviving gunman of the deadly terror attacks in Mumbai admitted his role in the November rampage in a dramatic courtroom confession today, reports the Times of India. "Sir, I plead guilty to my crime," Ajmal Kasab told the presiding judge, before describing how the attacks were carried out. The Pakistani national also named the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba as the organizer of the attack. Until today Kasab had denied any role in the attacks, and it was unclear why he suddenly made the statement.

Like there was ever gonna be any other alternative. They got him on camera massacring people. That dude is gonna die hard, and I can't muster up a bit of sympathy. I hope they take their time, draw it out for a long ass time. Give him medical aid, keep him around for it. Anyone who murders unarmed people simply to show off the firing capacity of their emotional and physical hardware needs a longer lesson administered by pre-programmed car factory robots with cauterizing lasers.
