Apparently, this warrior for Allah didn't want to die, and his plea for mercy to Indian President Pranab Mukherjee was rejected earlier this month. His lawyer opined
that Qasab was a "worried man" when he last met him in August, before the court upheld his death sentence. He was scared that he would be hanged and asked the lawyer: "Can you please help me get out of jail?"Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba [LeT], which was behind the attacks, hailed Qasab as a "hero", saying that he would "inspire other fighters to follow his path".
The Taliban, meanwhile, were "shocked" by the hanging.
