Ajmal's confession
The confession of Ajmal Amir
`Kasab,' the terrorist caught alive
in the Mumbai attack, does not
appear to be without rhyme or
reason. While pretending to tell all,
and dramatically so, in court, he
took care to blame the slain
terrorists for the wanton killings.
He has also been cautious to excise
details that have been in the public
domain for some time now,
especially the role played by the
jihadis' handlers in Pakistan. All
this could be meant to derail
investigations and take the heat off
the real conspirators sitting in
Pakistan. It is important to ensure
that the trial is not short-circuited
by what appears to be a wellrehearsed
drama.

Ajmal's confession and Asif Ali
Zardari's recent admission that Pakistan
created and nurtured terrorists
as part of state policy confirm
that Islamabad indulges in crossborder
terrorism to weaken or destroy
India.

We have gathered enough evidence
to prove Ajmal's guilt. Let us not
buy his delaying tactics, lest the
anger of the families of 26/11 victims
dies down and the criminal
goes scot-free. A quick and fitting
punishment is what is awaited.

The confession of the lone surviving
terrorist involved in the 26/11
attack raises a lot of suspicion. It
may be a strategic move to conceal
information, possibly as instructed
by his masters.

Ajmal's abrupt confession raises
many suspicions. It could be a
strategy to divert attention from
the identity of the real mastermind
behind the 26/11 plot. Punishing
Ajmal alone will not bring justice to
the victims of the Mumbai carnage.
Rather, he will be more useful to
our investigating agencies that
have to go to the roots of the terror
strike. We should not be misled by
his tactics.

Ajmal's stunning change of heart
has left us wondering whether his
confession is yet another gimmick
to waste the court's time or an exercise
under duress.
What is significant is that the confession
came when U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton was in India.
It is unfortunate that Pakistan
has refused to attach much importance
to the confession suggesting
that it might have come under duress.
