He said Ansari and Sabauddin were “notorious terrorists”. They were active members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and were “not passive sleepers”, Nikam told reporters after the verdict in the case by Special Judge M.L. Tahalyani.

“I will challenge this verdict. We will recommend to the government to challenge this verdict,” Nikam said.

Nikam said Kasab had been declared guilty on all counts.

“Kasab has been declared guilty on charges of waging war against the Indian state. Today we conclusively proved how terrorists are trained in a neighbouring country, how terrorist activities go on there.”
