Sentenced to death, Kasab practices karate

Sentenced to death, Kasab practices karate
Mumbai: Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, who has been given the death sentence for his role in 26/11, spends hours practicing karate at the Arthur Road jail where he's been imprisoned since he was arrested during India's worst-ever terror attack.

"Kasab does exercise and practises karate sometimes to kill his time. He also often strikes a conversation with the security guards deployed there to guard him round the clock," said a jail official.

Kasab, who was the only terorrist caught alive during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, was given the death sentence by the Bombay High Court last month.  

He has decided to appeal against the sentence in the Supreme Court.

"Security guards avoid speaking to him. He enquires where they are from, for how long they were associated with security agencies and so on....," the jail official said to PTI.
