26/11: SC to hear intercepted message today

The intercepted conversation during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks,between the executors and their Pakistani handlers,will be played in the Supreme Court on Thursday.

A Bench of Justices Aftab Alam and C K Prasad decided to listen to the conversations after the prosecution termed it an important link in the chain of evidence to show the attack was pre-planned. Hearing an appeal of Ajmal Kasab,the lone gunman who was captured alive,against his death sentence,the court fixed the time for the hearing at 2 pm. Senior advocate Gopal Subramaniam,appearing for the Maharashtra government,assured the court that all arrangements would be made to hear the conversations.
