21 year old Amir Azam Kasab, the only surviving terrorist who perpetrated the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, has been caught - by pretending to be dead and taken to the hospital - and has given authorities a full account of the attack and the circumstances and the events surrounding the attacks.
Stage of investigation is going on. Kasab has told police that they were sent with a special mission aimed at Israelis to avenge the atrocities on Palestinians. That was why they targeted Nariman House, a complex intended for Israelis. Sources say Kasab's colleagues killed in the operation had been in Nariman House earlier.
Amir Azam Kasav, also known as Mohammad Ajmal, Mohammed Amin Kasab, so confident in the picture above. It was taken when he went into the Mumbai train station (CST) in order to kill as many as he could. He and his partner finished its operations at the station and moved on to his next goal, Girgaum Chowpatty.
The 21-yr-old captured fidayeen was born at Faridkot village (pop 3,000), Dipalpur tehsil, of Okara district in Punjab province, 50 km east
of Multan.
Family belongs to Qasai caste. Father, Mohd Amir Iman, runs dahi-puri snack cart, mother, Noori Tai, looks after a ramshackle home Ajmal is one of 5 children. Eldest brother , Afzal, 25, works as a labourer in Lahore, lives near Yadgar Minar. Sister, Rukaiyya Husain, 22, is married in the village.
Then comes Ajmal. Sister, Suraiyya, 14, and brother Munir, 11, still at home Ajmal's poor father can't keep him in the local government primary school. In 2000, 13-yr-old Ajmal , who has done just class 4, is sent off to his brother Afzal in Lahore .
The elder brother, then 17, hardly has the means to look after his young brother Ajmal shuttles between Lahore and Faridkot village. In 2005, fights with his father and leaves home, saying he won't return . Not welcome in Afzal's house either.

After a brief chat, the duo sign up - not because of their conviction but for the training they might get. That, they feel, would further their career in crime Reach LeT's base camp, Markaz Taiba.
It's here that Ajmal starts getting influenced by films on India's "atrocities" in Kashmir, by impassioned speeches by preachers, including LeT chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed. Starts believing it might be worth sacrificing his worthless life for glory of Islam The camp gives him a sense of belonging that he never had in his family . When he comes home during a 2-month breaks finds he is suddenly being treated with respect by his family and community kin After this break, Ajmal chosen for for LeT's basic combat course, Daura Aam.
