This is really very strange, generally these terrorists are supposed to die before opening their mouth

He is a good actor and doing good piece of that, giving mumbai police daily media coverage and helping in keeping the issue alive for unnessary resons.

"mujhe apne desh pakistan jana hai" smacks of putting words in his mouth as we only call the country "mulk", not "desh"...

why wud anyone quote a terrorist? is he a great leader? is he someone who greatly influenced any society or any people for any good? why wud anyone ever quote his exact speeches?

and why wud the cops at all directly quote him? the cops aren't the terrorist's official messengers, isn't it so? whatever the cops said to media was just to inform the people and that is why they never said the urdu version of it. actual official statements are surely recorded, and for obvious reasons exact quotation is never done :)
