MUMBAI (NNN-PTI): The Bombay High Court had confirmed the conviction and death sentence awarded Kasab. 


Kasab has written a letter to the Supreme Court challenging his conviction and death sentence in the 26/11 attacks. 


The letter is under consideration by the apex court.


The high court had upheld the death sentence to Kasab for the "brutal and diabolical" 26/11 Mumbai attacks aimed at "destabilising" the government.


The 24-year-old Kasab, the sole terrorist, captured alive, among 10 Pakistani perpetrators of the attack, had been sentenced to death by a special anti-terror court on May 6 last year.


Kasab and his accomplices had landed at Budhwar Park in South Mumbai on November 26, 2008 night from Karachi by sea and went on a shooting spree at various city landmarks including CST railway terminus, iconic Taj Mahal and Oberoi Hotels, Leopold Cafe, Cama Hospital and Nariman House, a Jewish outreach centre, leaving 166 people dead and many more wounded. -NNN-PTI
