Pakistani man convicted for 2008 Mumbai siege
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. Two Indian nationals accused of conspiracy were acquitted.
A judge is expected to sentence Kasab on Tuesday. He could receive the death penalty or a life sentence.
India blamed the attacks on the Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, a Pakistan-based terror group allied with al Qaeda.
Authorities said Kasab was trained by the organization, which was banned in Pakistan in 2002 after an attack on India's parliament. The group denied responsibility.
The Mumbai attack derailed a fragile peace process between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan for about 15 months.
Top diplomats from the two South Asian rivals met in February this year in a fresh bid to resume their dialogue.
More than 160 people were killed in Mumbai in November 2008, as 10 men attacked buildings including the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower and Oberoi-Trident hotels, the city's historic Victoria Terminus train station, and the Jewish cultural center, Chabad House.
The assault lasted three days.
Kasab was photographed holding an assault weapon during the attacks.
Indian forces killed nine suspects in the attack. Their bodies were embalmed and kept in a hospital morgue as some local Muslim groups refused them a burial in their graveyards, saying the attackers were not true followers of Islam.

An Indian official in Maharastra state, where Mumbai is located, said a burial took place in January this year. He did not give the date or the exact location of what he described as a secret funeral.
