The only surviving Mumbai massacre gunman has personally stated he is Pakistani, in the face of efforts by Islamabad to distance itself from the terror attack.
Mohammed Ajmal Kasab wrote a letter, that has been handed over to Pakistan, that he and the nine others who shot dead 160 people all came from the country.
He also asked to meet Pakistani envoys, the Indian foreign ministry said.
Pakistan has not acknowledged Kasab as a citizen and has said it is waiting for proof before it will take further action.
The investigation into the attacks has heightened tensions between India and Pakistan.
Now that it has Kasab’s letter, Pakistan faces pressure to answer India’s demands that it turn over leaders of the Pakistan-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, accused of plotting the attacks.
