Kasab sentenced to be Hanged till death by an Indian court

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, a 22-year-old Pakistani citizen, was found guilty on Monday of 86 charges, including waging war against India, murder and terrorism offences for his role in the attack on India's financial capital that left 166 dead.

Judge M.L. Tahaliyani said the man described by prosecutors as a "killing machine" should be hanged.

"I don't find any case for a lesser punishment than death in the case of waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts," the judge said. Kasab and an accomplice committed the bloodiest episode of the three-day assault by killing 52 people
