Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested in the November 26 Mumbai terror attacks, is a Pakistani national. This has been confirmed to CNN-IBN by Pakistani official sources.
Sources told CNN-IBN the report confirming Kasab’s nationality has been sent to Pakistan Prime Minister Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. The report says Kasab has no links to any state agency.
A British newspaper and Pakistani media have show evidence that Kasab belonged to Faridkot village in Punjab province but Islamabad for days has been rejecting their claims by saying that there were no documentary evidence. Massive diplomatic pressure from across the world may have forced Islamabad to change its stance.
Separately, Dawn News while quoting official sources, confirmed Kasab was a Pakistani.
Much of India's evidence against the terrorists who attacked Mumbai is based on interrogations of Kasab, who was arrested on November 26. He has reportedly told authorities that he and his nine other attackers were Pakistani, he was trained in Pakistan, and his handlers are still there.
The Mumbai attacks began November 26 and lasted for nearly three days. The 10 gunmen attacked 10 sites across India's financial capital, including two five-star hotels, the main train station, popular restaurants and a Jewish centre.
