Indian court convicts 12 in 2006 Mumbai train blasts

An Indian court on Friday convicted 12 men in the bombings of commuter trains in Mumbai nine years ago that killed 189 people and injured more than 800.

The special court found the men, all Indian nationals, guilty of conspiracy, murder and “waging war against the nation.” One Indian man was acquitted.

Prosecutors argued that the 13 men had been trained in Pakistan, and said the attack was planned by the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, with support from Pakistani intelligence. Pakistan has denied involvement.

Those convicted face life in prison or the death penalty.

"Justice has been done for the people of Mumbai," prosecutor Raja Thakre told reporters after the verdict.
