Pakistans Dawn News TV quoted an official source as identifying Kasab as the son of Amir Kasab and Noor Illahi. Incidentally, this fact had been brought to light weeks ago when the Observer reporter visited Faridkot village and established the identity of Kasab. At that time, Pakistani authorities rejected these reports, pointing out that Kasabs name did not figure in Pakistans national register of citizens. Geo TV quoted its sources as saying that Pakistan would not give any legal aid to Kasab.
