Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab (Urdu: اجمل قصاب; 13 July 1987 – 21 November 2012)[2] was a Pakistani[3][4] terrorist and a member of the Islamist terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba through which he took part in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks in Maharashtra, India.[5][6] Kasab, alongside fellow Lashkar-e-Taiba recruit Ismail Khan, killed 72 people during the attacks, most of them at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.[7] Kasab was the only attacker who was apprehended alive by the police.
Kasab was born in Faridkot, Pakistan and left his home in 2005, engaging in petty crime and armed robbery with a friend. In late 2007, he and his friend encountered members of Jama'at-ud-Da'wah, the political wing of Lashkar-e-Taiba, distributing pamphlets, and were persuaded to join.
On 3 May 2010, Kasab was found guilty of 80 offences, including murder, waging war against India, possessing explosives, and other charges.[8][9] On 6 May 2010, he was sentenced to death on four counts and to life imprisonment on five counts. Kasab's death sentence was upheld by the Bombay High Court on 21 February 2011.[10] The verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court of India on 29 August 2012.[4][11] Kasab was executed by hanging on 21 November 2012 at 7:30 a.m. local time,[12] and subsequently buried within the precincts of Yerwada Central Jail in Pune.[13][14][15]
