<br/>Seventeen months after terror merchants from Pakistan unleashed death and destruction on the country's financial capital, a Mumbai court will pronounce its verdict tomorrow on the fate of lone surviving 26/11 gunman Ajmal Kasab and two alleged Indian conspirators. <br/><br/> A thick security blanket has been thrown in and around Arthur Road Jail where the special court will pronounce its verdict. Both the special court and the cell of Ajmal Kasab, are inside the high-security prison. <br/><br/>According to police sources, checkposts have been set up at strategic points along the road which leads to the prison near Saat Rasta in south Mumbai. Patrolling has been intensified and sand bunkers have been erected behind which armed policemen are standing guard round-the-clock.<br/> <br/>Kasab, a native of Faridkot, along with nine slain terrorists, has been charged with killing 166 people, including 25 foreigners, and injuring over 300 at the instance of Lashkar-e-Taiba. If held guilty, they may face death penalty. <br/>
