Mohammed Ajmal Amir alias Kasab continued his confessional statement about his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack on Tuesday before the matter was adjourned for a day by Special Judge M.L. Tahilyani. He has also restricted the media from reporting some portions of his revelations.
Tahilyani's order came when Kasab revealed the intentions behind the Nov 26, 2008 terror strikes in Mumbai on the second day of his confession before the Special Court.
After he spoke about the motives, Tahilyani passed an order restraining the media from reporting parts of it on grounds that it could create communal disharmony in the country.
Kasab, who shocked the courtroom with his confession Monday, revealed more details of the attack at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) along with his associate Abu Ismail.
He said they were under instructions to first start shooting at people, take hostages and then kill anyone who attempted to rescue the hostages. After his confession was complete, Tahilyani adjourned the matter till Wednesday.
Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had termed Kasab's surprise confession as "a victory of truth and victory for the prosecution" while Chief Minister Ashok Chavan had urged that death sentence be pronounced.
