Mumbai terror suspect from Pakistan

The sole known surviving suspect from last year’s deadly Mumbai attacks has told an Indian court that he is from Pakistan’s Punjab province.

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab appeared before a judge by video link at the start of his trial. He was not in court for security reasons.

He has been charged with "waging war" against India.

More than 170 people died in November’s attacks on India’s financial capital. Nine gunmen were killed.

India accused Pakistan-based militants from the banned group Lashkar-e-Taiba of carrying out the attacks. Pakistan has admitted they were partly planned on its soil.

The accused was arrested on the day of the attacks and has been in Indian custody ever since.
