MUMBAI, India – The accused gunman in last year's bloody siege of Mumbai retracted his detailed confession Friday, saying police tortured him into admitting his role in the attacks that left 166 people dead.
Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, 21, who is being tried in a special court — and was photographed carrying an assault rifle during the attack onMumbai's main train station — told the judge he came to Mumbai as a tourist and was arrested 20 days before the siege began.
