Kasab says his father sent him to LeT Lashkar-e-Taiba
Captured terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Mohammad Amir Kasab has told the police that his father asked him to join the Lashkar-e-Taiba so that he could use the money they gave him to run the family.
The 21-year-old has told the police that his father, Amir, introduced him to an LeT commander two years ago. "Kasab used to call the man chacha (uncle). Chacha was the handler of a group of 25 youths, including Kasab, who were provided special terror training. In return, chacha used to pay his father," said an officer who is part of the investigations into the attack on Mumbai.
A resident of Faridkot in Chipaalpura taluka of Ukhad zilla in Punjab (Pakistan), Kasab hails from a poor family and himself worked as a labourer before joining the LeT. His two younger sisters and parents stay in Pakistan, the police said.
According to Kasab, his father was aware of chacha's links with LeT. He says they were indoctrinated by chacha (see box) to create mayhem in India.
Out of the group of 25 trained LeT terrorists, 10 were handpicked for the Mumbai operation. "Around 45 days before the terror strike, chacha called the 10 youths and briefed them about the mission," said the official.
The militant training, Kasab told interrogators, began a year ago and camps were held in the jungles of Afghanistan and Pakistan. "In their training camps, the role of each module was specified. They were not allowed to interact with each other," said the officer.

The poor kid instead of being given a life was thrown into hell by his own father. What kind of a society thrives in Pakistan?
Latest reports say, his father was unaware of his whereabouts since the time Kasab left his house. Now, who is lying here? Father or Son?

i am a firm believer that poverty is the biggest terrorist

It is not the question of a particular society or a country.This is a perfect example of poverty & gross social inequality playing havoc with the psyche of human beings.
reshmi-keep up the good work, the article is very well written

Hi Hussain,
not having witnessed any of these myself, i am not sure of the authenticity of these reports. the cama hospital incident may also point out to a fact that the terrorists had been in mumbai for a considerable time learning the local culture before executing their mission. and no idea of kasab's story being true? but yes, even in India we have heard of poor Muslim families opting to get into terrorist activities, rather than working as labourers.

reshmi, it is heard that people commit suicide because of poverty but until now I did never learn about any case where poverty had forced parents to hand over children to terrorists or militants. These are only myths.

The story about the terrorists speaking in fluent Marathi did appear, however, the integrity of the claim being made by the local hospital employee (at Cama hospital) is questionable... If you honestly answer these questions below, you yourself will start questioning the credibility of the story...
1. The terrorists have not shown any mercy and have killed each and everyone in their sight... The whole story of the conversation between the hospital employee and the terrorists seems to be a figment of somebody's imagination... Why would he spare a person at a hospital, when the terrorists did not check at the CST railway station, whether the persons on whom they opened fire were a railway employee or a passenger just traveling by the train?
2. What is the logic to spare the individual, unless there is some connection between the two...
Hope you will realise that there is something more to this...

I am sorry to say but i dont think that poverty can force you to kill innocent , that is all about mindset and finding reason for poverty and its solution in religious fundamentalism led killing.
at 04:35 on December 2nd, 2008
Yes, it is not about poverty. It is not so simple as is being said by officials and media.
at 08:42 on December 2nd, 2008
a peek into history makes me believe poverty plays a major role in terrorism. everytime the distribution of wealth has become uneven to the extremes, major wars / revolts / uprisings have taken place. majority of the people who execute plans for the bigger criminals are picked up from amongst the poor.

It is not unusual for such terrorist groups, be it of the Jehadi, Hindutva, Zionist or other brands to exploit sufferings from carnages they have themselves perpetrated, to script young tender minds and perpetuate injustice.
The first media reports began to inform us of a previously unheard of group called the "Deccan Mujahedeen". Let it be made clear that neither the Deccan or the "Indian Mujahedeen" exist. The Indian Mujahedeen is a creation & the front organization of the Indian security apparatus. The role of the "IM" is to seek to entrap Muslim youth. Organizations like the IM are created with the backing of criminal elements from within the Muslim community as well as informers. The IM is known to be linked to the Fazlulrehman gang as well as the Bhatkal brothers with similar criminal antecedents. We believe that it is fairly easy to entrap 15 odd Muslim youth annually out of a population of 15 crores, by showing them CD's of Gujarat and Ayodhya and by emotionally drawing them to "avenge" the oppression and exploitation of a beleaugured minority. Intelligence agents in the garb of Muslim clergy have been known to indulge in this activity, whilst informers like Safdar Nagori have also helped in this process.
As far as theterrorists who attacked Mumbai are concerned, they are in all likelihood highly indoctrinated and extremely well trained terrorists, determined to die for their "cause" & are basically controlled by the American CIA, the Pakistani ISI and the Israeli MOSSAD. There is a long and recorded history of the CIA and the MOSSAD along with the intelligence agencies of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, deploying these groups in Afghanistan, Chechenya, Bosnia and Kosovo amongst others.
The stunning report that stated that Indresh Kumar a senior RSS operative in Nepal recieved Rs 3 CR from the ISI, was known to Togadia, Purohit and Vaidya the ex-RSS chief. This till date has not been denied by the RSS. This hints of a collusion between the ISI and the RSS at certain mutually beneficial levels and should come as no surprise and needs further investigation.
It was clear to the BJP-RSS that the threat that lay from the ATS investigation could destroy them as it went to the core of the leadership and names such as Advani, Modi, Togadia, Rajnath Singh and Vaidya began to appear.
Thus they would have to organize a major spectacular terrorist attack to thwart the investigation.
In our estimation, the MOSSAD and the CIA have aided and abeted the BJP-RSS in the planning and execution of this terror attack. What was required in this extended sordid drama was the need for a genuine terrorist group of Pakistani origin, which was provided for by the ISI with a bit of prodding from its masters in the CIA and the MOSSAD if required. The ISI is a mercenary organization with no scruples and is out there for the highest bidder. Moreover there exists various factions within the ISI, some which are baically controlled and paid for by the CIA and the MOSSAD.
The terrorist group would have no clue to the larger plot and would only be a pawn in the entire episode in which it would be given to believe that it was serving the cause of Islam by waging Jehad against Hindu India.
The terrorists were also given targets which included nationals of the US, UK and Israel as an added incentive. In one such announcement the terrorist spokesperson announced that they were here in Mumbai as part of their battle against the Jewish people and the faith of Judaism. Thus the Nariman House building in Colaba, that unkown to most is inhabited by Israeli-Jewish families was also attacked and hostages taken. This incident will only serve to cement ties between the Zionist elites of Israel and the Brahmanical elites of India.
The fact of the matter is that there exists a strong ideological bonding between Zionism & Brahmanism. Both are committed to racial, religious & caste superiority. Both also have a history of collaboration with Imperialism and the exploitation of their people.
Let it be clear to one and all, that Muslims have never had any sort of antipathy or hatred for the Jewish people or for Judaism for that matter and history is proof of this fact. What Muslims like all other peoples and nations are oppossed to is Zionism and its colonial aparthied state called Israel. The fact of the matter is that at the heart of International politics lies the Palestine / Israel conflict and only a just solution will finally bring peace to the world. Till then Israel will continue to destabilise Muslim societies across the world so as to spread Islamophobia and further weaken and isolate the Muslim community as is very apparent in India.
The key is to understand the difference between Judaism and Zionism. Judaism represents the ethical and moral vlaues of the Jewish faith whilst Zionism is a rascist, fascist and colonial ideology.
Both India and the world stand at the crossroads.
The scourge of terrorism has become the political and social challenge of our times and needs to be fought as it is we the ordinary people who are the victims of terror.
The politics of terror has replaced the politics of communal riots and is the new strategy of communal fascism.
The only way that we can fight the demon of terrorism is by revealing the truth and thus uniting the people across religions and nations for our common struggle against imperialism and for a global human society based on the principles of secularsim, democracy and social justice.

Don't be a zaid hamid follower...

u shit eaters even after such a huge attack,u r favouring pak my god what idiotic class of people you are
at 15:20 on December 13th, 2008
Habeeb - what proof do you have for all your conspiracy theories. People like you make me laugh, no party in India would dare to think of carrying out such a heinous act. Can you imagine what would happen if the people of India ever found out that they were behind this act. It might make a good story for a novel but this is real life.
These acts are isolating Muslims and putting hatred in the hearts of people for no reason.
You need to take the 'red' pill and wake up to reality.

what a stupidty nonsense , had u gone crzy , u are ur self a terriost, sick man
at 02:30 on December 3rd, 2008
after the Mumbai attacks I have been following the Pak media also besides all the Indian and US / Russian and British media. On one hand, the media from all over the world is seeing enough of pakistan backing in the attack, the pakistani media foolishly enough is busy propagating these as Indian Drama. Self proclaimed pakistani security experts like Zaid Hamid are front runners in race of idiots who also think the US 9-11 was a self constructed drama by US government.

Poverty is a catalyst. Terrorism is another dimension of lust for power. They use young impressionable people who are needy or restless over the state of affairs. Old people design the wars and young people die. Same is true for terroroism. The terrorists are merely pawns...Catch the real people ...

i believe idiots will always call themselves genius. but they can't hide their shit. how hard it is to see that the islamic doctrine prohibit drinking while both 9/11 and mumbai attackers were. matter affect one of the so called 9/11 hijacker came to life and still living after his death cause he showed up on aljazeera dam that was bad he must have been hindu. muslims don't belive in multiple life only here and the judgment day. comming back to mumbai attacks i am deeply sorry for the human life loss but just for a moment think election around the corner can it be internal raw stuff maybe not. how about the police wife refusing assistance ( may be she thinks its bjp/may be not).let see why were such extremist muslim who didn't like hindus, sikhs jews christians etc. were wearing those tipical hindu/sikh wrist strings. i don't know may be they thought let find out how it is to live like hindus/sikhs. hhhhhhhhh i forgot did i hear this guy Kasab(butucher) was brain washed. thats weared name never heard of kasab as a family name i am not deneying it may be there is.... but why if he was brain washed so hard to kill over 150 people he was not brain washed to finish him self couse obviosly there was no escape and it seemed like every one of it knew that. shit he had no mercy for any body else couse maybe he was drunk hhhhhhhhhhh no he must have thought it will hert like hell to die.or was it some thing else. one final tip let them know to check if kasab was circumcised (i believe no body has talked about it yet) couse it will realy look shity if he is not.
my prayer are with those who suffered and lost their loved ones. i wish it had never happened. that way u would have never seen me writting this much
also i agree with Samseka (most of these guy are whatever you said. the jus talk and go either give or get)

I am not surprised at the conspiracy theories that are being created by the Pak media and the junta at large. Its a pity that India has to deal with a Pakistan, a country with no moral values, deeply eroded society, a bankrupt nation, living off the pittance provided by the west, zero integrity and a history which no sane human can be proud of! May some sane leader provide guidance to Pakistan which is in a self-destruct mode. The lowest of the lowest of humans are coming out of Pakistan. May Allah have mercy on these people.

It is pretty interesting to read comments here. I am not from Pak or India but I see some truth in both points of view. I can understand why Pak media or public are not taking Indian claim seriously. Indian government made a bad habbit of blaming Pakistan for every ill happening in India. It is easy way out for them. The investigations normally never produce any smoking gun against Pakistan. Now, Pakistanis are so used to Indian attitude that they believe that it is another Indian blame game. I hope the real truth comes out. I am really concerned about the safety of Indian nukes. If terrorist can run over Indian city anytime they want to then one can believe that they can take over Indian nuke as well. West really needs to pay some focus on the safety of Indian/Pal nukes.

this comment if for azzayindia, have you ever seen poverty struck Indian villagers going into Pakistan to kill innocent people like this? This terrorism is a result of Pakistan's misguided state policy of terrorism.
Also for Gerald J, India's nukes are doing allright, its Pakistan's you need to worry about. Whatever Pakistan's Generals and army have done has put them almost beyond redemption. It is now in god's hands and he will decide their fate. That said, I feel sorry that innocent Pakistanis are paying for the ill-deeds of their stupid army.
at 04:40 on June 17th, 2009
All you guys get a life.... Kasab is a murderour and hes a killer no doubts about that. What is this discussion gonna bring? All the lives back or pakistans pathetic attitude? Go do something useful than comment.... or go to pakistan and try telling them all this... maybe it will bring some change.
at 22:36 on July 22nd, 2009
i think that if poverty become reason of terrorism then in india approximately 30-40% population become terrorist & if that no. of population attack on the pakistan & other country then they will totally ruined that country. so think about & it poverty is not cause of terrorism it is depend our mentality & our civic sense..
