Mumbai, Jan 18 (IANS) Pakistani terror accused Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab Monday claimed before the special court here that at least three of the nine slain terrorists in the Nov 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attacks were Indians.

Continuing the recording of his statement before Special Judge M.L. Tahalyani, Kasab claimed that while one of the slain terrorists was a Kashmiri, another was from Gujarat and a third hailed from 'Bombay'.

'The person you call Abu Ali and whose pictures I was shown was a Kashmiri. The one you call Abu Ismail was from 'Bombay,' and another was from Gujarat,' Kasab said as the court gathering heard with disbelief.

When asked how he knew these details, Kasab said that this was mentioned in Abu Ali's mobile SIM card, which he was shown.

About Abu Ismail, he said it was quite evident from his complexion that he was from Bombay.

Incidentally, Kasab has earlier claimed during his recording of statement that he was not involved in the 26/11 terror attacks and also claimed that he worked as a cook in Pakistan, but was lured to Mumbai by Bollywood prospects.

On an earlier occasion, he has claimed that he had been interrogated by four white persons of whom one was David Coleman Headley, one of the terror accused who is now in the custody of the US police.

Kasab has been retracting his earlier statements before various authorities, denying evidences and witnesses' depositions before the Special Court and making unbelievable claims during the ongoing recording of his statement under Sec. 313 of Criminal Procedure Code since the past few weeks.

Kasab's statements are likely to be completed within two days before the Special Court.
