A court in India has sentenced to death three people for carrying out bombings that killed more than 50 people in Mumbai (Bombay) in 2003, informs BBC News Thursday.
The blasts at the Gateway of India landmark and a jewellery market caused carnage and shocked the nation.
The three convicted bombers were found to have links to a Pakistan-based Islamic militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which investigators believe was involved in the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai.
Judge MR Puranik, sitting at a special anti-terrorism court, ordered that all three people convicted “should be hanged by the neck until dead”.
All three convicted bombers are expected to lodge appeals.
