Indian taught Hindi to LeT terrorists: Kasab

Mumbai, July 20 (PTI) Lone surviving gunman of the
Mumbai attacks Ajmal Kasab Monday claimed an Indian was also
involved in the terror conspiracy but special public
prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam dismissed it saying there was "some
design" behind the statement.

Kasab told special judge M L Tahilyani that an Indian
man named Abu Jindal had taught him and the nine other slain
terrorists Hindi during their training course in
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) camps in Pakistan.

This is for the first time that Kasab has claimed
about the role of an Indian in the terror attack before the
special court.

He had not revealed about Jindal or any other Indian
in his statement before a magistrate and the police.

Reacting to Kasab's comment, Nikam said the gunman is
deliberately making this statement.

"He has some designs in making such a confession
because earlier he had never disclosed the involvement of any
Indian. I strongly suspect that he is not telling the truth,"
Nikam told PTI.

The court is yet to decide on whether or not it is
going to accept Kasab's confession, Nikam said. PTI SVS
