Mumbai attacks victim identifies Kasab as assailant
2009-06-11
A 10-year-old girl on Wednesday identified Ajmal Kasab as being one of two gunmen who opened fire at the city's main railway station.

Asked whether she could see the gunman in court, Devika Rotawal pointed at Ajmal Kasab, who did not react, the Press Trust of India said. The young girl was seriously wounded in the attack at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on November 26, which left 52 people dead and 109 others wounded.

Kasab and an accomplice named Abu Ismail are alleged to have fired indiscriminately with AK-47 assault rifles at crowds of commuters at the station and thrown grenades. "There was a loud explosion. At that time my father said we should leave and holding me in his arms he started running in one direction while my brother ran in another direction," Devika told the special prison court in Mumbai. "Just as we were leaving, I saw two persons firing at people. I received a bullet injury in my right leg. My leg broke and blood spilled out" she added.
