Pakistan's Kasab sentenced to death by a special court

''To be hanged by the neck till death,'' the judge said after each of the four counts for which he sent Kasab to the gallows.

The 23-year-old from a village in Pakistan's Punjab broke down as Special Judge M.L. Tahaliyani read out the sentence.

He is the lone gunman captured alive during the Mumbai terror attack. The special court ruled that he did not have any right to live. He has been given death on four counts, including waging war against India, murder and indulging in terrorist activities.

Judge M.L. Tahaliyani said the common man would lose faith in the court if Kasab was given life. ''The death sentence is required,'' he said as he wound up his statement and added that Kasab did not have the right to live.
