A court in India has sentenced to death three people for carrying out bombings that killed more than 50 people in Mumbai (Bombay) in 2003.

Haneef Sayyed, his wife Fahmeeda and Ashrat Ansari were convicted last month of murder and conspiracy.

The blasts at the Gateway of India landmark and a jewellery market caused carnage and shocked the nation.

They were said to be in retaliation for the deaths of Muslims during riots in Gujarat state the year before.

...Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

7. +1 ....

I think If I were one of these terrorist folks who were caught and had a choice of dying or living in the same room for the rest of my life - I would talk death penalty any day ....



5 minutes or terrible pain VS lifelong misery in slowmotion ( what would you take?)



I think the death penalty is a gift to these assholes ..make them live & suffer.
