Mumbai Terrorist Mohammed Kasab Is Executed

The sole surviving Mumbai terrorist attacker has been executed after the Indian president rejected his mercy plea.

Mohammed Kasab was one of 10 gunmen who laid siege to the city in 2008. The attacks lasted nearly three days and killed 166 people.

Kasab was sentenced to death in May 2010 after he was found guilty of a string of charges.

These included waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts.

Pakistan-born Kasab was hanged at Yerwada prison in Pune, hours after India's President Pranab Mukherjee turned down a last-ditch mercy plea.

"This is a tribute to all innocent people and police officers who lost their lives in this heinous attack on our nation," said RR Patil, the home minister for the state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located.

It was the first time a capital sentence had been carried out in India since 2004.

India accuses Pakistan-based militants of organising the attacks, saying Islamabad is failing to act against those behind the raids.

Pakistan denies involvement and says it is prosecuting seven suspected militants for their role.
