What mercy was shown to the countless hundreds murdered by these terrorists? Yet, Dawood et al aren't the only criminals here - the real culpable criminals are the corrupt Customs, Police and Border security officials, without whose "indulgence" the terrorists would not have been able to carry out their distardly acts of terror. Bribery of public officials should carry maximum punishment - both for the briber and bribee, especially the bribee - the corrupt public officials tasked with protecting the state.
