KASAB'S LAST WORDS: ‘PLEASE FORGIVE ME, WILL NEVER REPEAT SUCH A MISTAKE’
November 22, 2012: Ajmal Kasab, one of the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai in India on November 26, 2008, reportedly sought pardon in the name of God seconds before he was executed at Pune’s Yerawada Central Prison on November 21.
Kasab, 25, appeared nervous before his hanging but remained quiet. He didn’t say anything, except for responding to the queries from the authorities.
However, a Times of India report, quoting an official present at the time of the execution, said that Kasab lost his composure just before entering the gallows and mumbled that he was sorry for the crime.
“Allah qasam maaf karna, aisi galti dobara nahi hogi (I swear by Allah, please forgive me, such a mistake won't be repeated)," Kasab said. These were reportedly his final words before being hanged.
Kasab was the lone militant caught alive among the ten gunmen who killed 166 people in multiple locations in Mumbai. (Sources: ibtimes.com, 22/11/2012)
