• Faked Death

  Doctors at the hospital where Kamal was treated, after he was captured, said that he tried to fake death. One doctor said they had to try "deep stimulus" on his hand to see if he was alive but it did not work. They even "pressed his eyeballs hard" but he did not react. The physicians finally resorted to putting ether to his nose, to which he reacted, albeit "emotionlessly."The Australian: Captured Terrorist Ajmal Amin Kamal 'feigned Death' (December 2, 2008)

  Indian authorities claim they have evidence that Ajmal Amir Kamal and the other alleged operatives taken into custody helped to carry out the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. According to police, Kamal and the two other men told interrogators they were among about a dozen Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives who left Karachi, Pakistan, on a merchant ship on Wednesday, November 26, 2008. The men then left the vessel in row boats and split into at least five groups once they reached Mumbai. They then allegedly began carrying out the coordinated terror attacks at several locations throughout the city.The Hindu: Three Lashkar fidayeen captured (November 28, 2008) The Times of India: Three LeT men arrested; Lashkar strikes in a big way...
