All terrorists who stormed Taj Hotel were Indians: Kasab

Mumbai, Jan 18 (PTI) Continuing his flip-flop,
Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab Monday told a special court
trying the 26/11 attacks case that all the four terrorists who
stormed Taj hotel were Indians.

Kasab, whose statement is being recorded by the court
on evidences adduced by the prosecution, told Special Judge M
L Tahaliyani that while one of the terrorists of the Taj hotel
siege was a Kashmiri, another was from India's western state
of Gujarat.
Kasab claimed the third terrorist at Taj was Abu
Ismail from Mumbai. According to prosecution, Ismail was
gunned down at Girgaum Chowpatty by the police in an encounter
when he along with Kasab was trying to escape. He, however,
did not elaborate on the identity of the fourth terrorist at
the Taj.
The Pakistani terrorist has been making conflicting
statements in the court. While at one point Kasab confessed to
his guilt and admitted having shot people at Chhatrapati
Shivaji Terminus along with Abu Ismail before being captured
at Girgaum Chowpatty, he later denied any involvement in the
terror strikes. PTI SVS
