Footage of police interviewing Mumbai suspect released

BRITAIN: A British news outlet released footage Sunday of a police interview with a Pakistani man on trial over last year’s Mumbai attacks, in which he admitted working for militant group Laskhar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Mohammed Ajmal Kasab is accused of being the sole survivor among a 10-member Islamist militant commando group that stormed the city last November, killing 166 people during a 60-hour bloodbath.

In a video filmed by Indian police as they interviewed him in hospital shortly after his arrest, which was broadcast by Channel Four News, Kasab says: “We were all supposed to die. He said we would go to heaven.”
