Leniency call for Mumbai gunman

The fate of the only gunman to be captured alive after the Mumbai attacks should be known within the next 24 hours.

At his trial, Ajmal Kasab pleaded guilty and asked to be executed. But he later retracted his statement, claiming it had been given under duress.

Prosecutors are pressing for the death sentence now that Kasab’s been convicted, but his lawyer is arguing for leniency.
