| FBI grills Ajmal Amir |
| 2008-12-22 |
| Mumbai: Officials of the Federal Bureau of Investigation have grilled for over nine hours Mohammad Ajmal Amir ‘Kasab,’ the lone surviving Lashkar-e-Taiba militant involved in the November 26 terror attacks. Sleuths of the U.S. agency tried to ascertain Ajmal’s role and handlers in Pakistan. The FBI officials have been camping here for over three weeks. They asked the arrested Lashkar terrorist minute details of his native place. Ajmal hails from the Ukkad area of Faridkot district in Pakistan. He was also asked to describe the area where his training took place, besides the people who had trained him in arms as well as those who indoctrinated him, the sources said. The sleuths then prepared some sketches of Ajmal’s mentors and trainers , the sources said. |

| #9 Originally the British regulated sati. It could only be undertaken with their permission. This was the procedure adopted previously by the Delhi sultans and the Mughal emperors. Both the Emperors Humayun and Akbar had banned sati. The British, under Lord Bentinck banned it in 1829 after a rise in the numbers in Bengal - to about 60 a year. |

| #8 John, wasn't it the British that introduced hanging to India? As in some British officer who, when told that suttee (pushing widows into the funeral pyre) was the Indian "custom", said something to the effect that the British also had a custom - of hanging people who killed innocent women. So the Indians could build their funeral pyres, and the officer would have his soldiers build gallows right next to them. |

| #7 He is in the custody of the Mumbai ATS, who have lost their chief in the attack and are out for revenge. The ATS have been accused in open court of torturing Lt. Col Purohit, who is still in their custody. If they can do that to a serving Indian army officer, Kasab is dog meat. Kasab has a date with Scotland Yard then with Interpol. Then he gets his date in court... waging war against India brings a death sentence, so the gallows awaits... The British left a fine infrastructure for hanging, including boiled hemp ropes from Bihar state. |

| #6 "I'm sure Kasab is wishing he'd never been born." He's not the only one wishing that, OP. |

| #5 49Pan - I don't think so, not in India. The Indians have a very realistic view of terrorism and anti-terror operations. I'm sure Kasab is wishing he'd never been born. |
