Mumbai, March 9 /--/ The 26/11 trial took a new turn today with the prosecution stating that Pakistan Army was involved in the Mumbai terror attacks and a serving Major General had supervised their training in LeT camps across the border.
"The conspiracy of the 26/11 attack was hatched on Pakistan soil...It was a classic case of state-sponsored terrorism", Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said in his final arguments which began in a high-security court at Central Prison here.
Attired in white kurta and pyjama, 22-year-old Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving Pakistani gunman, was seen in the dock covering his face with a handkerchief most of the time.
Two other accused, Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed, sat besides him on a bench.
Mr Nikam said Kasab and the nine other slain terrorists had undergone military and intelligence training in Pakistan given by activists of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and supervised by certain officers of the Pakistan Army.
"Kasab in his confession has said one Major General was present during their training and supervised the firing practice. The name of this Major General was deliberately not revealed to the attackers as he occupies a senior position in the army," Mr Nikam said.
The Major General had taken keen interest during the firing practice and even patted Kasab for his good shots at targets, he said.
Kasab, he said, was a well trained commando and had also been imparted intelligence training to mislead the court.
He had taken U-turns a number of times by making confessions and later retracting them, Mr Nikam said.(PTI)
