The dialogue of "Alhamdulillah ....Inshallah...battle between believers and........Inshallah.......shahadat......jannat...." in the documentary Terror In Mumbai is understood to be similar to Kasab's statement and hence the reason for "not being aired in communal harmony."
Yesterday he described the political and religious indoctrination he said he received from his handlers in Pakistan, but Judge M.L. Tahiliyani issued an order banning journalists from reporting his comments, saying it was not in the interest of communal harmony.

Indian reporters in the courtroom protested to Judge Tahilyani that Mr. Kasab had not said anything new and noted that parts of his statement covered topics that had already been reported on by a British television documentary. The judge said he would address their concerns later.

Ajmal's confession will revive Pakistan's demand for extradition
The confession by Ajmal Amir ‘Kasab’ before a court hearing the Mumbai terror strikes case may rekindle demands in Pakistan for his extradition if the statement is included by Pakistani prosecution as evidence against the five suspects who face proceedings here for their alleged involvement in the attacks.

In response to an Indian request, the CIA delivered further details on September 24, warning expressly that the Lashkar was planning to hit multiple targets including the Taj Mahal Hotel. India’s own intelligence services also warned that an attack was imminent.
Pakistan’s own intelligence services, though, passed on nothing. Either the ISI was not watching the Lashkar or did not stop the operation, undermining Islamabad’s past promises to end anti-India terrorism.

Special Judge M L Tahilyani has kept Kasab’s statement on record in the case.

SSridhar here is something directly from horse mouth. Below is the text version. You can listen to the video as well.

BRFites Kasab will be number 29. Many of us will die before he is actually hanged.CNN-IBN: Senior lawyer Harish Salve has told CNN-IBN that even if Kasab is sentenced, it would go the Afzal Guru way. Kasab may not be really hanged.
Chidambaram: That's a charge that's been made ad nauseum. Its been corrected several times. There are 28 cases of death row. Afzal Guru's no is 22. Let's first deal with the case. Remaining at a death row for several years is not a happy situation. In fact, prisoners on death row suffer more than prisoner who's hanged.
Re: Mumbai Terrorist Attack-News stories and timeline
The way I see it Kasab is TSP individual and there are no heartburn takleef if he gets hanged. Afzal Guru is an Indian and there is heartburn if he gets hanged as can be seen by the tardy progress. In fact it can be argued that the other 21 are surviving because he is #22. So that is number doesnt come up.
Re: Mumbai Terrorist Attack-News stories and timeline
kasab is seeking his 72 as soon as possible so he confessed.better punishment for him to keep him alive whole his life in solitary confinement.that way mentally break him.make him mentally wreck whole his life.show his fake hanging as propaganda so as people believe in india and across the border that he is dead there by pre-empting any kandhar type hijacking attempt to get him released.

Pakistan puts off Mumbai case for month
ISLAMABAD, July 25 (Reuters) - A Pakistani court due to hear the case against five Islamist militants accused of involvement in the attacks that killed 166 people in the Indian city of Mumbai adjourned for a month without charges being read.
India wants forceful action by Pakistan to bring to justice leaders of the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group it says were behind the Nov. 26-29 attacks before formally resuming a peace process that was frozen during the subsequent tensions.
The government's prosecutor, Malik Rab Nawaz Noon, said formal charges against the accused had not yet been framed and Saturday's proceedings ended after some statements were recorded.

“ISI behind the Mumbai terror attacks” Amir Mir
LAHORE: The 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks were first conceived on the third floor of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) headquarters at the Zero Point in the garrison town of Rawalpindi, claims a recently released book “Investigating the Mumbai Conspiracy”, published by the Delhi-based Pentagon Press, adding that the head of the ISI directorate sits on the third floor of the headquarters, overseeing a shadowy empire of spies and jehadis which today poses a greater threat to global security than the al-Qaeda.
Co-authored by Wilson john, a senior fellow with Observer Research Foundation and Vishwas Kumar, a senior Indian journalist with special interest in crime and terrorism, states that a highly classified operation like Mumbai could not have been shared among more than four people would have known about the plan besides the Chief of Army Staff, who at the time of the planning was President General Pervez Musharraf. “The DG ISI was Lt General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani. Among General Kayani’s close confidants were four Major Generals — Sikander Afzal, Asif Akhtar, Muhammad Mustafa and Tahir Mahmood — all of whom played major roles behind 26/11”.
The book adds: “Akhtar headed ISI’s Operations Wing which handled terrorist groups operating in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of India. Afzal was the Deputy Director General External and headed all sections which dealt with terrorist groups and India. One of his close confidants was Brigadier Riazullah Khan Chibb, one of the key masterminds of the Mumbai attack. Mustafa was in charge of the Evaluation wing and Tahir Mahmood was General Officer Commanding. Special Services Group (SSG), which sometimes acted as the armed wing of the intelligence agency. Tahir Mahmood, as the Brigade commander of Brigade 62 at Skardu, had launched terrorists from LeT and other Army supported groups across Indian territory to camouflage the movement of regular troops.
The book claims that a whole lot of homework had gone into before the Pakistani jehadi Generals laid out the plan for the Mumbai attacks. “They knew which terrorist group they could rely on to carry out the task. They had notes on previous attacks, the modus operandi used, the local support network and they knew the names of Brigadiers who could control the operation through satellite phones. According to the book, three retired Pakistan Army Brigadiers who had played a key role in the Mumbai terror attacks are Riazullah Khan Chibb, Ijaz Shah and Haji.
“Though names of other Brigadiers and other retired officers have time and again emerged during various investigations - Major Wajahatullah and Colonel Kayani - there are fewer details in open source about their past and present activities. There are, however, some details about Shah and Chibb, largely thanks to the emails which former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto wrote before her assassination in 2007. Both Shah and Chibb had retired from ISI a few years ago and have vast experience in running and handling terrorist groups targeting India. They are also confidants of Musharraf”.
“Generally, no serving officer is given control of terrorist operations as the discovery of such links, run the risk of attracting sanctions from international donors. Terrorist operations are always left to the ‘irregulars’. These are retired officers who are reemployed on contracts for specific missions for the Army which can be easily denied. They operate out of private offices in different locations in Pakistan, have access to weapons and equipment and are paid through slush funds maintained by the Inter Services Intelligence”.
Re: Mumbai Terrorist Attack-News stories and timeline
it is so transparent that the 26/11 attacks were directly created to start a Parakram type situation and divert attention from Fak-Ap... who does not get this anymore? Why do we even question if the ISI's finger prints are on this?
Re: Mumbai Terrorist Attack-News stories and timeline
Pakistan desperately wants India to mobilize.
But they don't want and are not in a position to go to war.
India's battle groups are already in striking position, perhaps India should give pakistan what it wants and also do an = = and do what the BRFites want. Mobilize and cross the IB and LOC.

So, our agencies have all the info on 26/11 by now? Time to bump off at least a couple of these people to show we mean business.The book adds: “Akhtar headed ISI’s Operations Wing which handled terrorist groups operating in Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of India.

The Pakistani Attorney General says there is no evidence against Hafiz Saeed at all
"The government has the evidence provided by the UN Security Council that can only keep Saeed behind bars for a certain period of time under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law," said Attorney General Latif Khosa, an aide of President Asif Ali Zardari.
"However, we have no material whatsoever to establish Saeed's direct or indirect link with the Mumbai carnage," Khosa told PTI in an interview.
"India wants us to prosecute him for his involvement in the Mumbai attacks but how could we do so without concrete evidence? Law demands evidence. Let it be very clear to everyone that we are not giving any latitude to Saeed or anyone else," he said.

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Attack-News stories and timeline
I am still confused about this line of thought... really appreciate someone explaining it to me...it is so transparent that the 26/11 attacks were directly created to start a Parakram type situation and divert attention from Fak-Ap... who does not get this anymore? Why do we even question if the ISI's finger prints are on this?
TSP did Mumbai so it can create Op-Parakram so it can divert attention from Fak-Ap.
Let us assume India did a Parakram2
- It will force TSP to move its troops from Fak-Ap area to Indian borders
- That will make whose life difficult? US/NATOs? How? This logic assumes that TSPA is really doing something to control Taliban activity. Is this really the case?
- If the good Taliban (or are they Bad-ones?) are under TSPA control, then they do not need TSPA presence to be accommodating US/NATO to forces
- By definition Bad-Taliban are inimical to TSP, NOT to US/NATO forces. Then who is protecting whose interests?
- What are Indian interests in all this? Isn't it a good option for India to do a Parakram2 and kick some bad ass. It will have three outcomes.
1. Mumbai will be avenged. If we have a strong govt, we might be able to avenge few Kaluchaks as well.
2. Will drain TSPA budget further. If US/NATO want to reimburse TSPA that is even better.
3. It will open up maneuvering space for the bad-Taliban. Few more provinces under their control will kick start the disintegration process.
And our famous chanikyan minds in PMO and MEA couldn't think about this? What a shame...

Country A attacks Country B and accepts that it attacked.Country A says that for its own survival and future strategy, it has to attack Country B and there is no way it can survive without attacking Country B. Now Country B appreciates the honesty and resumes the dialogue.
That is the bottomline and we can keep spinning and can continue to defame Chanakya on this forum as much as we can.

Perhaps there is a country C that pulls the strings and both A and B dance accordingly.

We also want to be part of NATO if US allows. I don't expect any mass movements like those of George Fernandez's youthful days.

Lalmohan-ji,
- If unkil is so worried about Paki-nukes (or nuke-wars for that matter), then why is he supporting their presence there in paki-land? Does it mean he doesn't have direct control over them? Then unkil should be more worried about those paki-nukes than India. It will be in the best interests of India to call TSPian-nuke-bluff.
- If unkil indeed have control over paki-nukes and using them to influence India to his interests, then unkil is a direct enemy to Indian interests. While GOI may not be able to call someone its public enemy, then it should do everything to f*ck unkil’s interests wherever possible.
This all assumes that there are real nukes in the first place. I thought we proved it wrong already on BRF.
Either way IMVHO, the sooner India calls paki-nuke-bluff the better for long-term Indian interests.
The only chanikyan move I can see in all this is; somehow our pujyaneeya civilized economistic pradhan mantri knows all and sees all, and is working hand-in-hand with unkil to safe guard TSPian-nuke-bums. Can we be that lucky?

Gaps in Pakistan's 26/11 investigation worries India
Excerpts
Excerpts
. . . the dossier also shows that there are missing links in the evidence against the suspects — notably, material to connect two low-level facilitators of the attack to the Lashkar command chain. . . dossier is devoted to detailing the alleged role of Rahim Yar Khan resident Hammad Amin Sadiq and Bahawalpur-based Shahid Jamil Riaz. . . the dossier does not contain any evidence to link the two men with three senior Lashkar operatives who are also being tried for their role in the attacks.
. . . the dossier is silent on who these financiers were and what their connections with the higher leadership of the Lashkar might have been. There is no word either on whose authority the funds were transferred to the accounts. . . neither the source of the funds, nor the individual who ordered him to make the payment, has been identified.
Pakistan has not so far conducted voice-analysis tests which could conclusively determine if Lakhvi was, indeed, one of the Lashkar operatives who guided the assault team’s operations through a voice-over-internet-protocol connection India’s intelligence services succeeded in intercepting.
No call-data record linking Sadiq and Riaz to the three mid-level commanders — nor any evidence that they were in touch with other Lashkar leaders — appears to have been adduced in evidence.
Pakistani investigators, the dossier shows, have also failed to act against those who trained and equipped the assault team.
None of those involved in training the Lashkar assault team is identified in the dossier, or listed as a proclaimed offender. Nor are those who supplied them weapons, explosives and logistics support.
. . . no word on who operated these facilities, and to whom they reported.
Incredibly, the dossier makes no mention of the basic training of the assault team received at a string of Lashkar facilities, including the organisation’s headquarters at Muridke, a camp at Bhattal, and the massive Shawai Nullah facility at Muzaffarabad, in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Mohammad Ajmal Amir — widely known by the caste-appellation ‘Kasab’, or butcher —provided a graphic account of his training at Lashkar-run camps in Pakistan during a confession made to a Mumbai court earlier this month.

Pak SC indefinitely delays trial against Hafeez Saeed
Pak has enough evidence to prosecute Hafeez Saeed: SM KrishnaPakistan's Supreme Court has adjourned indefinitely the hearing of petitions challenging the release from detention of banned JuD chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, accused by India of being the mastermind of November 26 Mumbai attacks.
The apex court's direction comes two days after India said there was "enough evidence" to continue investigation against the Jamaat-ud Dawa (JuD) chief in connection with the 26/11 attacks.
The hearing of two petitions filed by the Federal and Punjab governments had been adjourned indefinitely by the apex court, Saeed's counsel A K Dogar told reporters.
Sources said the move was apparently linked to the resignation of Punjab's Advocate General Raza Farooq on Sunday, who was representing the provincial government in the hearings.
The provincial government sought time from the apex court to appoint a new Advocate General and asked for the hearing to be adjourned, sources said.
Saeed is a 'free' man according to his lawyer A K Dogar. The case hearing was adjourned immediately on being taken up, according to Dogar. The shocking development comes despite India's submission of an additional dossier with evidence of Hafiz Saeed's involvement in 26/11, which was expected to tighten the state's case against him.
Speaking to the media after Monday's hearing, Dogar said, "He will continue as free man, he can do whatever he likes. He is doing his duties at the second most important mosque in the country. I tell the whole country, Saeed opened 160 schools from sources of JuD, 52 madrasaas and 4 universities. I am elated to hear recently that a girl from the JuD Girls' High school, topped the list of all the boards."
Asked about the reports of a fourth dossier that India had provided recently, Dogar said, "Rehman Malik (Pakistani interior minister) who now calls all the shots in the country on these security matters - made a positive statement reported on July 28 - saying 'We have no evidence with us that Hafiz or JuD is in any manner connected with Mumbai attacks.'"
India responded to the latest queries from Pakistan on Saturday (August 1) over 26/11 by sending certified copies of Lashkar terrorist Ajmal Kasab’s confession and interrogation reports of LeT operatives Fahim Ansari and Sahabuddin Ahmed as part of a seven-page response. The communication is said to have sufficient evidence - as home minister P Chidambaram said this week - for Pakistan to proceed against the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed.
The JuD, the politico-religious outfit guiding LeT, can be charged for the Mumbai attacks if Pakistan really wants to.
"India has provided all the evidence through our dossiers.... We have provided dossiers on March 5 and 13, May 20, June 9 and August one and I don't know what more do they want," he told reporters here.
"If they (Pakistan) have the willingness, basic conviction than they should go after those who engineered the heinous attacks on India, on Mumbai," he said.
Mr. Krishna said "whatever we have provided, according to our assessment, that is evidence enough to punish them and Saeed is one of those who is the main brain behind the attacks."
He pointed out that India had fulfilled its part of the obligation to punish those behind the attacks "and it is for Pakistan to act".
To a question, he said "it certainly is a test of patience of India."
