Mumbai Blasts on Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab’s 24th birthday ?

Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab was born on July 13, 1987, according to a few records of social networking sites. However, in a statement to Indian authorities after his arrest, Kasab told his birthdate as September 13, 1987.

Kasab is a Pakistani terrorist who was involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Kasab is the only attacker captured alive by police and is currently in Indian custody. The Government of Pakistan initially denied that Kasab was from Pakistan, but in January 2009, it officially  accepted that he was a Pakistani citizen.

He was captured on CCTV during his attacks at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus along with another terrorist, Ismail Khan. Kasab reportedly told the police that they wanted to replicate the Islamabad Marriott hotel attack, and reduce the Taj Hotel to rubble, replicating the 9/11 attacks in India.

Three blasts rocked Mumbai on Ajmal Kasab’s 24th birthday, according to a few social network sites. Kasab is the prime accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks that took place in 2008.

There is speculation if this is a coincidence or some kind of statement from Kasab’s terror group. The blast also took place two days after the fifth aniversary of the train bombing in 2006.

Kasab was found guilty of murder, conspiracy, and of waging war against India. On 6 May 2010 he was sentenced to the death penalty.
