THE Taliban threatened revenge yesterday unless India returns the body of a Pakistani man executed for his role in the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.
Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan demanded Mohammed Ajmal Kasab's body be given back to his family or to the Taliban.
"If his body is not given to us or his family, we will, God willing, carry on his mission," Ahsan said by phone. "We will take revenge for his murder."
India secretly hanged Mohammed Ajmal Kasab on Wednesday and buried his body at the jail in the city of Pune where he was executed.
Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said the government would consider any request from the Pakistani government or Kasab's family to hand over his body, but no such request had been received.
Kasab was the lone surviving gunman from the three-day attack in Mumbai, India's financial capital, The nine other gunmen were killed during the siege.
