The only gunman captured alive after the 2008 Mumbai attacks has been sentenced to death by an Indian court.
Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, a Pakistani citizen aged 22, was found culpable on Monday of many charges, including murder and waging war on India.
Sentencing Ajmal Amir Qasab, the judge said he could not be rehabilitated. He has the right to appeal. The attacks left 174 people dead, 9 of them gunmen. Relations between India and Pakistan have still to recover.
India blamed Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba for the assault.
After initial denials, Pakistan acknowledged the attacks had been partly planned on its territory and that Ajmal Amir Qasab was one of its citizens.
