Ajmal Kasab is a Pakistani: Pak media

As major Jihadi groups in Pakistan went underground with the highhandedness of Pakistan Government under immense international pressure, global and Pakistani media organisation have revealed the fact that the lone survivor terrorist arrested for the Mumbai terror attack is indeed a Pakistani.

Several media investigations have reached to the end of identifying the family of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab, who belongs to the village Faridkot in Pakistan’s Punjab provinces.

Amir Kasab, father of Ajmal Kasab, told a number of Pakistan media outlets that the 20-year-old survivor terrorist is his son.

Pakistan’s one of the most widely attained media voice, The Dawn quoted Amir Kasab as saying “I was in denial for the first couple of days, saying to myself it could not have been my son, now I have accepted it. This is the truth. I have seen the picture in the newspaper. This is my son Ajmal.”

After days of dismissing India’s claim that the arrested gunman is a Pakistani, the Pakistan media is finally claiming the same thing that may put their government in an awkward position as it has been blaming India for maligning its reputation ever since the attack has been occurred.

It was too reported that Ajmal's handlers had promised him that his family would be compensated with Rs.1,50,000 after the completion of the Mumbai mission. But the man in his 50s replied agitatedly, ‘I don't sell my sons.’

Earlier, the British newspaper Observer had claimed the links between the village Faridkot and Mumbai terror with identification of Kasab in the voter list; however, it was widely refuted then by both Pakistan government and local media.

Meanwhile, though the United Nations Security Council has declared Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD), the frontal organisation of Lashkar-e-Taiba, as a global terrorist organisation, the United States said on Friday that despite the links of terror attacks in Mumbai, nothing pointed to declare Pakistan a terrorist assisting country.

US State Department Sean McCormack said at a press conference in Washington said that though the Jamaat-ud-Dawa was allegedly involved in the Mumbai carnage, nothing discussed so far gave the suggestion that Pakistan needed to be considered a terrorist-assisting country.
