...With the question of Qasab's age set aside, the prosecutor launched a full frontal attack on Pakistan - the unnamed but ever-present fourth defendant on trial in Mumbai. (Qasab's co-defendants are Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Sheikh, both Indians, who were arrested before the Mumbai attacks but are suspected of helping with some preliminary planning.) As he outlined the details of the case, Nikam focused his argument on the second charge of "waging war against the government of India." The attacks, he said, had "the definite target of capturing Kashmir." (Lashkar e Taiba, a jihadi group that...

The judge grew irritated and seemed to imply that Ansari was somehow withholding information about the reasons for his lawyer's absence. "I don't know what...

With a shaggy beard and hair that covered his ears and forehead, Qasab, 21, looked older than he appears in the globally circulated pictures captured of him during the Mumbai attacks, when he walked through the city's main railway station in cargo pants, brandishing weapons. Sabahuddin, 25, a head taller than Qasab, extremely thin and wearing a bushy beard and close-cropped hair, also agreed to his new representation. He filled the time during lulls in the proceedings by reading a January issue of the newsmagazine India Today, at one point apparently engrossed in a story about...
