The sole surviving Mumbai terrorist attacker has been executed after the Indian president rejected his mercy plea.
Mohammed Kasab was one of 10 gunmen who laid siege to the city in attacks that lasted nearly three days and killed 166 people.
He was sentenced to death in May 2010 after he was found guilty of a string of charges, including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts.
Pakistan-born Kasab was hanged on Wednesday at Yerwada prison in Pune, hours after India's president Pranab Mukherjee turned down a last-ditch mercy plea.
"This is a tribute to all innocent people and police officers who lost their lives in this heinous attack on our nation," said R.R. Patil, the home minister for the state of Maharashtra, where Mumbai is located.
It was the first time a capital sentence had been carried out in India since 2004.
India accuses Pakistan-based militants of organizing the attacks, saying Islamabad is failing to act against those behind the raids.
Pakistan denies involvement and says it is prosecuting seven suspected militants for their role.
