Kasab hanging: Victims' families hail 'delayed' justice

Mumbai: After four years the Mumbai terror attack, Mohmmad Ajmal Kasab, the sole surviving Pakistani gunman, was hanged to death at the Yerawada central prison on Wednesday morning. Soon after, reactions from victims' families started pouring in welcoming the execution. Tukaram Omble was the biggest hero of 26/11. The Mumbai police assistant si was responsible for the capture of Let terrorist Mohmmad Ajmal Kasab alive. His brother Eknath Omble welcomed the government decision to hang Kasab, saying a terrorist like him should have been hanged in public. "My family is happy. Through you I had appealed to President Pranab Mukherjee. I am glad that today the President and the Home minister took the right decision. A terrorist like Kasab should have been hanged in public," he said. K Unnikrishnan, the father of slain NSG commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, on Wednesday expressed happiness over the hanging but also cautioned that this was not the end of the menace called terrorism. “Our aim should be to bring to book the perpetrators of 26/11. Mohmmad Ajmal kasab was a soft target. This is not a closure; we need to be more alert. I think it is done in a better way. If guilt is proven then the person should be punished. Terrorism is a bad thing for the society,” he said.
