Mohammed Ajmal Kasab was one of ten terrorists who killed 166 people during three days of carnage in India. He was photographed during the attack - he appears to have a smile on his face while he guns down dozens of innocent people. Many celebrated his execution in India but it has again reignited debate about the death penalty. Our South Asia correspondent Michael Edwards has this report. MICHAEL EDWARDS: The announcement came suddenly - early in the morning on Wednesday, the Indian government put out a brief notice that Mohammed Ajmal Kasab had been hanged in an Indian prison.

As his hands and legs were tied, his last words, according to officials who witnessed the hanging, were: "Allah kasam maaf karna. Aisi galati dobara nahi hogi…(Allah, please forgive me, this mistake won't happen again)."
Sources said Kasab was babbling incoherently before the hangman pulled the lever at Yerawada, about 150km from Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail, his home for four years. His body was buried in a pit in the prison premises as there were no claimants. He was convicted in May 2010 by a special judge for murdering seven people directly with his AK-47 and 65 others in common intent with fellow terrorist Ismail. He was also found guilty of being part of a Lashkar-e
