The sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 174 people died has been found guilty in an Indian court.
Twenty-two year-old Mohammad Ajmal Amir Qasab, was found guilty on charges including murder, waging war on India and possessing explosives.
The attacks left 174 people including nine gunmen dead, and soured ties between India and Pakistan.
Meanwhile, India\'s home minister says the verdict sends a message to Pakistan that it should not export terrorism to India.
Two Indian men, Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed who were accused of helping the gunmen plan the attacks, were acquitted by the presiding judge at the court in Mumbai.
The judge will begin hearing arguments about sentencing on Tuesday.
The prosecution is seeking the death penalty for Qasab.
