Accept me, Kasab's letter to Pakistani authorities

Even as Pakistan refuses to acknowledge that the Mumbai attackers were from Pakistan, Kasab - the lone gunman caught alive is now appealing to his government- to extend legal aid.

Captured terrorist Ajmal Kasab has written to the Pakistan High Commission for access to legal aid. Amongst his pleas is also a direction to claim the body of his fellow terrorist- Ismail Khan and give him a decent burial.

It's now becoming more and more difficult for Islamabad to hide under the cloud of uncertainty of the identities of the men who attacked Mumbai.

The dust has begun to settle and investigations by the world media too point to how Pakistani organisations are in complete denial of evidence that all the terrorists belonged to Pakistan.

There is a new addition to the pile of proof. This time it is a letter that the surviving terrorist Ajmal Kasab has written to the Pakistan High Commission in India.

Top sources in the Mumbai police have revealed that Kasab, in a three-page letter to the high commission.

Ajmal has confessed to carrying out the terror attack in Mumbai. He has said that he is indeed a Pakistani national and was part of the LeT's operations.

He has asked for legal help from Pakistani officials.

The letter asks the officials to claim the body of his fellow terrorist Ismail Khan's body and give it an Islamic burial.

He has also named Zaki-ur-rehman Lakhvi, believed to be the man who lured him into terrorism, the LeT chief Hafiz Sayeed and Mohammad Kahafa as his trainers.

The said letter has been handed over by the Mumbai police to the union home ministry, which will first examine it and then pass it on to the Pakistan High Commission.

So far, the high commission has denied recieving any such letter and Islamabad continues to demand what it calls 'solid proof of its involvement in the Mumbai attacks'.

India, on its part has maintained that evidence will be shared at the appropriate time.
