ISLAMABAD |
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan's Taliban movement expressed shock on Wednesday over India's execution of Ajmal Kasab, the lone survivor of a militant squad that killed 166 people in a rampage through the financial capital Mumbai in 2008.
"There is no doubt that it's very shocking news and a big loss that a Muslim has been hanged on Indian soil," Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan told Reuters.

People who massacre innocents for obscure reasons, whether in Pakistan, India or elsewhere, deserve to be stamped out like vermin – the self-appointed policeman also needs to re-examine it’s role in a multi-polar world and fall in line with the decisions taken at the UN.
As UN often fails to decide, members can either step up their diplomacy or revamp the membership rather than take unilateral decisions.
