Mumbai: Graveyard Owner Refuses To Bury Terrorists
Maybe Lashkar-e-Taiba will claim them.
MUMBAI, India (AP) _ A Muslim graveyard has refused to bury nine gunmen who terrorized Mumbai over three days last week, leaving at least 172 people dead and wreaking havoc at some of its most famous landmarks.The men are not true followers of the Islamic faith, according to the influential Muslim Jama Masjid Trust, which runs the 7.5-acre (three-hectare) Badakabrastan graveyard in downtown Mumbai.
Police don't believe anyone will claim the gunmen's corpses since they are thought to be from Pakistan.
"The gunmen must be buried because we are bound to see that their last rites are performed according to the religion they follow," said Jain Sirmukadam, a senior police inspector. "We have heard the trust's decision. We are considering what to do now."
There are seven other Muslim graveyards in Mumbai, but the Jama Masjid's influence means none of the others are likely to accept the bodies.
Who will step up to claim these asshats?
