[Pawan Durani]

Dear Taha ,

Let us not talk stupid like Rehman malik . It is a fact no country owns
terrorist ,,,,,not even spies.....

Even if the spy is a regular with any countrys defense/intelligence
department....

In thhis case Kasab was anyway a dacoit turn Jihadi who was promised virgins
in Heaven....
