Mumbai gunman's confession sheds light on attack

Sunday, 14 December 2008


MUMBAI, Dec 13: The gunman captured in last month's Mumbai attacks says in his confession to police he originally intended to seize hostages and call the media to make demands. In a confession statement obtained by The Associated Press, Mohammed Ajmal Kasab says he and his partner, who attacked the city's main train station, had planned a rooftop standoff. But they couldn't find access to a roof. The two killed dozens of people inside the station, but it's unclear if they ever held hostages. — AP
