Mumbai, India, May 03, 2010, SPA -- An Indian court handed down a guilty verdict Monday in the case of the only surviving gunman from the 2008 siege in Mumbai. Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani, was found guilty of murder, conspiracy and waging war on India for his part in the attack which left scores dead, CNN reported. Judge M.L. Tahiliyani also acquitted two Indians who had been accused of helping plot the attacks, according to a report of the Associated Press. Kasab sat impassively with his head bowed down as the verdicts were read. Sentencing in the trial has been set for Tuesday. The evidence against Kasab included footage from closed circuit cameras in and around a train station and the testimony of more than 600 witnesses. The trial was conducted in four languages in a special court in Mumbai's high security Arthur Road Jail, where Kasab has been held since his arrest. He was arrested on the first night of the siege. --SPA 14:09 LOCAL TIME 11:09 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/776322
