Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab has been held guilty of mass murder and waging war against the nation in the Mumbai attacks case. <br/><br/>In the fastest-ever trial of terror attack cases in India, a 26/11 Mumbai special court pronounced its verdict yesterday. Arguments for the quantum of sentence will be presented today by the defence and prosecution. <br/><br/>The Court held the lone surviving Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab guilty of all 86 charges that were framed against him by the prosecution. However the two other co-accused LeT operatives Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed, both Indians were pronounced not guilty by the special court for lack of evidence.<br/><br/>The court accepted Kasab's first confessional statement genuine and observed that the 26/11 terror attack was a case of state sponsored terrorism, with a clear trail being found from Karachi to Mumbai.
