Mohammed Ajmal Kasab is believed to be the only surviving militant
involved in assault that killed 166 people 
A Pakistani national on trial in India for last year's Mumbai
terrorist attack has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. This
Nov. 26, 2008, file photo shows gunman Mohammed Ajmal Kasab walking at
Chatrapathi Sivaji Terminal railway station in Mumbai, India Mohammed
Ajmal Kasab is believed to be the only surviving militant involved in
the assault that killed 166 people. Kasab
faces charges including murder and "waging war" against India. His
trial is being held in a special bomb-proof courtroom in Mumbai. He
could face the death penalty if convicted. Two Indian men, Sabauddin
Ahmed and Fahim Ansari, accused of providing support to the militants
also are being tried. The two are top members of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, which
India says is a front for the Pakistan-based terror group
Lashkar-e-Taiba. India has accused Lashkar-e-Taiba of carrying out the
60-hour siege in Mumbai last November. India
also has suggested Pakistani government agents were involved in the
attack. Pakistan denies the allegation, which has heightened tensions
between the neighbors. Some information for this report was provided by
AFP and AP.
