Qasab?
India is known for its extra-legal procedures for obtaining confessions that are then presented literally as God’s word in court and the media.
Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, the prime suspect in last November’s bombing in Mumbai, had confessed to his involvement. Now, he has retracted his previous statement, claiming he was tortured.
This may just be another of Qasab’s flip-flops thus far or he may be right. The question in my mind is why haven’t we seen a more recent photograph of Qasab. The only one available is the one on the left and that may or may not be the real Qasab.
Will the real Ajmal Qasab please stand up?
