In a surprise move, main accused Ajmal Amir Kasab confessed to his involvement in the Mumbai attacks. He narrated the entire sequence of events leading to the terror strikes on November 26, 2008.
The lone surviving terrorist of the Mumbai attacks named Lashkar-e-Toiba's Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi as the mastermind behind the attacks. He also named Abu Hamza as one of the Pakistani handlers.
The Mumbai attacks had claimed more than 150 lives and left many injured.
Kasab is believed to be a resident of Faridkot in Pakistan. He is currently lodged in Arthur Road jail in Mumbai.
In his confessional statement, Kasab said he and other terrorists were brought from Karachi, led by Lakhvi and Abu Hamza.
Kasab's defence was taken by surprise at his admission.
Earlier, a magazine report claimed Kasab was taught combat techniques by the Pakistan Marines after being extensively trained by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) at its various camps.
The magazine quoted Kasab's interrogation report by an intelligence agency.
