Ajmal Qasab, the lone surviving terrorist involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks who has been hanged to death, received due process of law in a full and transparent trial, the US said today, asserting that it wants to see the terrorists behind 26/11 brought to justice.

The Washington Post also praised the Indian Government for carrying out this execution in secrecy.
"In a country where few things remain secret, where everything is argued in public, and where courts take decades to complete trials, Qasab's swift hanging was a welcome surprise for many," the daily said.
25-year old Qasab was hanged at 7.30 am in the Yerawada central prison in Pune yesterday.u00a0
