Gunman alleges torture
The suspected Pakistani gunman on trial for last year's Mumbai attacks wants to retract his confession, claiming it was extracted by torture, his lawyer said on Friday.
The allegation came as the prosecution opened its case against Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, calling the November 2008 carnage in the city a product of Pakistan's "strategic terror culture".
