Before having any second thoughts on Abu Salem's conviction, one should remember the 250 odd families who've been effected by his deadly deeds. A person who is responsible for the killings of hundreds of people should never be spared. Where a person was given a death penalty after spending half of his life in the prison for a rape, how can this brutal murderer be spared???? While US is publicly announcing wars on nations, why should India compromise on a TERRORIST.
