Udhampur terror attack: Did India just nab Kasab 2?

Making his first confession on camera, captured Pakistani terrorist Usman Khan has told the security forces he entered the Indian territory 12 days ago from Pakistan and that the only other partner he had was killed by the Indian Army, a claim rejected by the BSF which says at least two others are still at large.

Usman, 20, suspected to be a Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist, was captured alive following an intense encounter in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur district in which at least two BSF jawans were killed and 11 others injured. He had earlier claimed his name was Kasim Khan.

"I came to exact my revenge. I am only doing God's work," Usman told his handlers. He could also be seen asking for food from the soldiers who interrogated him.

Usman was nabbed after militants attacked a BSF convoy on Jammu-Srinagar national highway in Udhampur. He had taken three persons hostage in a school building in a nearby hamlet, from where he was arrested after an operation was launched by the army and the police. All the hostages have been freed and the operation has ended. Read more here.

Naved aka Kasim aka Usman seems woefully unskilled as a terrorist. Pakistan desperately needs skill development initiative by its Army/ISI.

Jihad factory will make more Kasabs, Usman. To even begin to understand Salafists' grip on Muslim societies, read 'Agent Storm', 'Heretic'
