Ajmal Kasab was the only terrorist who was captured alive. He was hanged four years later on November 21, 2012. The terror attack on Paris on November 13 had brought back the memories of the Mumbai carnage, as people found a similar pattern in the execution of attack — the timing of the attack, style of combating by coming in a group, selection of multiple locations, targeting the civilians at places of gathering or iconic spots, targeting of international tourists, among other things.
