STORYLINE:
India executed the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 terror attack on Mumbai early on Wednesday, the country's home ministry said.
Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani citizen, was one of 10 gunmen who rampaged through the streets of India's financial capital for three days in November 2008, killing 166 people.
Kasab was hung in secrecy at 7:30 am on Wednesday at Yerwada jail in Pune, a city near Mumbai, after Indian President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his plea for mercy.
R.R. Patil, the home minister for the state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located, described the execution as "a tribute to all those who lost their lives in the attacks."
Indian authorities faced public pressure to quickly execute Kasab, and the government fast-tracked the appeal and execution process, which often can take years, or in some cases, decades.
Kasab and the other gunmen entered Mumbai by boat on 26 November 2008.
Carrying mobile phones, grenades and automatic weapons, the gunmen fanned out across India's financial capital, targeting luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and the city's main train station.
Captured by a photographer striding through Mumbai's main train station, an assault rifle in hand, the baby-faced Kasab quickly became the iconic image of the siege.
An Indian judge sentenced Kasab to death in May 2010 for waging war against India, murder and terrorism, among other charges.
Kasab cried as he heard the sentence.
