MUMBAI - THE lone surviving gunman from the deadly attacks on Mumbai was on Tuesday remanded in custody for a further two weeks, a senior police official told AFP.
A judge granted a request to hold Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman for questioning during a brief hearing in the city, said the officer in charge of the investigation, crime branch chief Rakesh Maria.
'We have got his custody up to Jan 19,' he said.
Iman, identified by Indian authorities as a Pakistani national trained by the banned Pakistan-based Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, faces a string of charges including 'making war against the country' and murder.
He was one of 10 heavily-armed Islamist militants who killed 163 people across Mumbai, including at two luxury hotels and the city's main railway station, in a 60-hour reign of terror on Nov 26-29.
Nine gunmen were killed.
Mr Maria said he was 'quite hopeful' of filing charges against Iman - also known as Mohammed Ajmal Kasab - within 60 days.
Two other suspected LeT activists are in custody in connection with the attacks. They can be detained until Jan 12. -- AFP
