Mumbai: Justice was finally delivered to the 166 people who lost their lives in the 26/11 carnage. Seventeen months after the trial began, lone surviving Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab was on Thursday sentenced to death for complicity in the most audacious terrorist attack ever on India.

Special Judge ML Tahaliyani, who conducted the trial of Kasab for nearly a year in the high security central prison at Arthur Road in Central Mumbai, read out the death sentence at 1.28 pm to a packed court room, in Kasab’s presence.

"Kasab shall be hanged by the neck until death," Special Tahaliyani said while reading out the sentence awarded to the 22-year-old lone surviving terrorist in the November 26, 2008 carnage in which 166 people were killed.
