Indian officials: Mumbai gunman was promised cash for his family
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
The only gunman captured during the terror attack on Mumbai said he was promised that his impoverished family would get $1,250 if he died fighting for militant Islam, Indian security officials said Wednesday.
The captive, 21-year-old Ajmal Amir Kasab, is from Faridkot village in the Punjab region of Pakistan, according to the two Indian officials.
India has blamed the banned Pakistan-based extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the carnage. But in an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari, expressed skepticism that the man in custody is a Pakistani citizen.
