'Misled' Kasab wants to write to his parents

Mumbai: The lone terrorist captured in the November 26-28 terror strikes in Mumbai, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman, has told the police he wants to write a letter to his parents in Pakistan saying he was "misled" by the terrorist group, a senior police official said on Monday.

"He (Ajmal) expressed his desire to write a letter to his parents. He wants to write the letter saying he was misled by the group," Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said.

"Ajmal told us this two days ago and we are examining it," he said.

Ajmal, who allegedly hails from Pakistan's Punjab province, was among the group of ten terrorists who killed 183 people during the multiple attacks.

While Ajmal, who is reportedly in early twenties, was nabbed near Girgaum Chowpatty, the nine others were killed by security forces.

Police officials said this was Ajmal's first operation while some of the others had participated in terror attacks earlier.
