Lahore, Nov 28 (PTI) Ajmal Kasab and nine other terrorists
who attacked Mumbai last year were in constant touch with top
LeT commanders in Pakistan during the strikes and received
instructions to kill "political leaders, foreigners and
prominent personalities of India."
This was stated in the six-page chargesheet filed against
the seven suspects in custody in Pakistan, including
"mastermind" of the attacks Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, who is also
the LeT's operations chief, and the terror group's
communications expert Zarar Shah.
Apart from Lakhvi and Shah alias Abdul Wajid, a
Rawalpindi-based anti-terror court has formally charged
Hamad Amin Sadiq, Abu al Qama alias Mazhar Iqbal, Shahid Jamil
Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younas Anjum with planning and helping
execute the 26/11 strikes. They have all pleaded not guilty.
According to the chargesheet, a copy of which was accessed
by PTI, Zarar Shah and Abu al Qama "remained in touch with the
terrorist co-accused, including Kasab, during the attack
through VOIP (internet telephony), satellite phone, cell
phones while giving them instructions to commit maximum
international murder of persons, including political leaders,
foreigners and prominent personalities of India."
Kasab, who is the lone terrorist captured alive during the
26/11 attacks, is currently lodged in the high-security Arthur
Road jail in Mumbai. (More) PTI
