GK NEWS NETWORK
Thimphu, Apr 28: Pakistan today contended that it wanted custody of Ajmal Kasab, the lone gunman held during the Mumbai attacks, because of legal requirements and hoped that India would respond positively to its request for handing him over.
“That is a legal requirement... India is currently examining our request and we hope that they will get back with a positive response,” Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit told reporters here when asked why his country has demanded handing over of Kasab.
Kasab, a Pakistani-national, was among 10 gunmen who struck in Mumbai on November 26, 2008. While nine of the attackers were killed, Kasab was caught during the gun-fight.
