Kasab will 'inspire' others to follow his path: LeT

A senior commander of Pakistani terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Tayiba [ Images ] has said that Ajmal Kasab [ Images ], who was executed on Wednesday for his role in the 2008 Mumbai [ Images ] attacks, was a 'hero' who will inspire more attacks.

"He was a hero and will inspire other fighters to follow his path," Reuters quoted a commander of the LeT, which is accused of masterminding the attack, as saying.

Kasab, the lone surviving attacker behind the attacks, was hanged in Pune's Yerwada prison at 7:30 am on Wednesday after President Pranab Mukherjee [ Images ] rejected his appeal for mercy.
