Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam today argued before the trial court that the lone surviving Pakistani gunman Ajmal Kasab is guilty of killing people at The Taj, Hotel Oberoi-Trident and Nariman House although he did not directly participate in the terror attacks at these places. Some portions of confession made by Kasab before a magistrate were corroborated by telephonic talks between the terrorists and their Pakistani handlers intercepted by police during terror attacks, which proved Kasab's role in the conspiracy.<br/><br/>While Kasab and slain terrorist Abu Ismail had rained bullets at people at Chhatrapati Shivaji terminus, Cama Hospital, Metro Junction and planted bombs in two taxis, eight other team members had mercilessly killed people in Hotel Taj, Hotel Trident and Nariman House.<br/><br/>Quoting an instance, Prosecutor Nikam said Kasab had also stated in his confession that he had killed Amarsinh Solanki, the navigator of Kuber boat. In telephonic talks, the handlers ask the terrorists what happened to Kuber's navigator and they reply that he had been killed.<br/><br/>Prosecution said that terrorists had come from Pakistan by Al-husseni boat. Midway, they hijacked Kuber boat and arrived by that vessel near Mumbai. Then they switched on to a dingy (rubber boat) which they had brought from Pakistan to reach the coast.<br/>
