Captured terrorist's plan? Kill 5,000 people in Mumbai

Ten terrorists came to Mumbai and killed 200 people and only one was captured alive. The captured terrorist confirmed their plan was to kill as many people as possible until their last breath.

Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan was captured alive by the police after a long battle. He revealed his team’s mission and says he was ordered to kill until the last breath. The attack plans began six months ago. He and nine other terrorists were trained in marine assault in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. They traveled in a small boat and were met by a larger ship near Pakistan where they were given ammunition and enough grenades to kill 5,000 people. They were also given almond nuts and dried fruit to keep their energy up for prolonged battles. They hijacked an Indian fishing boat and killed the five that were using it. They also killed two coastguards, who came to inspect their vessel. After killing the two, they took inflatable dinghies to reach the shores of Mumbai on Nov. 21. Kasab told the police they were planning to blow up the entire Taj Mahal Palace hotel after executing British and American tourists. Commandos eventually overpowered them. When Kasab was captured, he pretended to be dead. The police, however, were able to capture him and take him to a Nair Hospital, where Kasab pleaded for his life. Kasab was overheard telling medical staff at Nair Hospital, "I do not want to die. Please put me on saline." Kasab said that they came to Mumbai and filmed the locations where they planned to strike. There are rumors that terrorists might have originally come from West Yorkshire, England but trained at either in Pakistan or Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Some reports allege they might have been trained by Pakistan’s intelligence services. Further interrogations will pinpoint the exact source of training. The terrorists were also armed with latest GPS devices and BlackBerry phones used to communicate with a foreign nation. Police also think the terrorists might have been under the influence of drugs to keep them alert. Blood and urine tests done on Kasab indicate some drug influence. Despite all the confessions by Kasab, the chilling part came when he told investigators, "I have done right...I have no regrets."The police, who were interrogating him, were shocked to hear this. One police source told AFP:

‘He [Kasab] was telling our people this in a most dispassionate way and responded to the horror their faces betrayed by shrugging his shoulders, as if it was all of no real consequence.’
