Azam Amir Kasab

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

An initial report in the Daily Mail concerning captured Mumbai terrorist Azam Amir Kasab reveals some interesting points:

The group hoisted a white flag and allowed the two men to board their boat. According to Kasab, one of the militants then attacked one of the officers, slitting his throat and throwing him overboard. The other man was forced to help the group reach their destination before being executed as the vessel drew near to Mumbai.

Either one of these events should have set off bells and whistles.
