KARACHI: Now that Ajmal Kasab has
been executed, perhaps the Indian government will speed up the trials of those
involved in the Samjhauta Express bombing by Hindu extremists, including Lt
Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit and Swami Aseemanand. Even though the train was
bombed around two years before the Mumbai attacks and the accused were arrested
long ago, they have not yet been tried.
Is
it because they are Indian extremists who killed Muslims, many of whom were
Pakistanis? If convicted, would they be sentenced to death? I doubt it.
