**The trial of the man alleged to be the sole surviving gunman in the 2008 Mumbai (Bombay) attacks has concluded, with a verdict expected in May.**Pakistani national Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, 22, faces 86 charges, including waging war on India, murder and possessing explosives.
In all, 610 witnesses testified during the case, which began last March.
The November 2008 attacks left 174 people dead, including nine gunmen, and soured ties between India and Pakistan.
“The trial has ended and the prosecution has presented the links between Kasab, [banned militant group] Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Pakistani army,” said special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam outside court.
Pakistan arrests
Mr Qasab originally denied the charges against him but in July, in a dramatic outburst in court, he admitted his role and asked to be hanged. His plea was not accepted and the trial continued.
In November the main lawyer representing Mr Qasab - who was arrested on the first day of the attacks - was removed from the case. The judge said he was wasting time.
After initial denials, Pakistan acknowledged that Mr Qasab was one of its citizens and that the attacks had been partially planned on its territory.
Late last year, Pakistan charged seven people in connection with the attacks, including the suspected mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who is alleged to head Lashkar-e-Taiba.This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
