Mumbai terror suspect Mohammed Kasab – I was tortured by police
The sole terror suspect to be captured alive during the Mumbai attacks made an apparent attempt to avoid a possible death sentence by telling a court today that he was only 16 years old at the time of the atrocity and had been tortured in custody.
Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, who faces 166 counts of murder, sought to withdraw a statement in which he had detailed his training with the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist faction, saying that he had been beaten by Indian police.
Mr Kasab is alleged to be one of ten militants who attacked Mumbai’s main train station, two luxury hotels, a backpacker bar and an orthodox Jewish centre in a commando-style assault that last for 60 hours in November.
“He was beaten, thrashed, by police” Mr Kasab’s lawyer, Abbas Kazmi, a veteran of high-profile terror cases in Mumbai, told The Times. “Under this fear he recorded his so-called confession.”
Oh please. By now, the left has the world calling loud music and belly slaps “torture”. *eye roll*
