Kasab says he was a cook, denies undergoing LeT training

Mumbai, Dec 22 (PTI) Lone surviving Pakistani gunman
Ajmal Kasab Tuesday said he was not a "Jihadi" and had not
undergone any training at the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) camp in
Pakistan.

Kasab told the court, which was recording the gunman's
final statement on the prosecution evidence, he was a cook
with a catering company in "Saarayee-Alamghir" near Jhelum in
Pakistan.
Denying any involvement with terror outfits LeT and
Jamat-ul-Dawa (JUD), Kasab declined meeting Hafiz Sayed,
Zaki-ur-Lakhvi, Abu Kahfa and Abu Hamza--all wanted accused
and alleged LeT operatives.
"I heard the names of Lash-e-Taliban and JUD from the
police here. Crime Branch officials had shown the photograph
of Lakhvi," Kasab said.
Asked by the court if he was introduced to one Major
General Saab at the training camp, Kasab said, "This is
absolutely wrong."
The judge, M L Tahaliyani, was putting questions to
Kasab on the basis of his confession before magistrate in
February; however Kasab disowned the confession, saying it was
given under duress. (MORE) PTI SP
