LONDON, June 29 A British news outlet on Sunday released footage of a police interview with a Pakistani man on trial over last year's Mumbai attacks.

Mohammed Ajmal Kasab is accused of being the sole survivor among 10 militants who stormed the city last November, killing 166 people.

In a video filmed by Indian police as they interviewed him in hospital shortly after his arrest, which was broadcast by Channel Four News, Kasab says “We were all supposed to die. He said we would go to heaven.”

Channel Four News said the video is not being used as evidence in Kasab's trial because he has retracted the confession, saying it was made under duress.

Kasab was asked how many people he killed, and replied “Don't know, kept firing and firing.” He said he worked for LeT, the Pakistan-based militant group, adding that his father introduced them. His father was paid in return for Kasab's work.

“He said 'These people make loads of money and so will you. You don't have to do anything difficult. We'll have money. We won't be poor any more',” Kasab recalled his father telling him.

The full footage will be shown by Channel Four on Tuesday.

Some of the shooters held two Jewish hostages captive, and were told to “Do it.” “What, shoot them?” one shooter asked. “Yes, do it. Sit them up and shoot them in the back of the head,” the controller replied.—AFP
