THREE Muslim men were sentenced to death by an Indian anti-terrorism court today for their involvement in the country's worst bombings, the first cases of capital punishment in one of the world's longest trials.

The three – Pervez Nasir Sheikh, Abdul Gani Ismail Turq and Mushtaq Tarani – were convicted of planting several bombs, part of the 13 explosions that killed 257 people in 1993 in India's financial hub of Mumbai.
Turq planted a high explosives bomb in a vehicle in a crowded market in the heart of the city and the blast killed 88 people.
Police say the bombings of Mumbai landmarks, including the main stock exchange, were ordered by India's most-wanted man, Muslim gangster Dawood Ibrahim, to avenge the demolition of the historic Babri mosque by Hindu hardliners in 1992.

Sheikh planted two bombs – including high explosives in a scooter in a market – and a second bomb in a hotel.
Four people were killed when the bomb in the scooter exploded.
"His excuse that the acts were revenge for the Babri masjid is not convincing," judge PD Kode told a crowded and heavily guarded courtroom. "This act was a disgrace to the Muslim religion."
Out of the 100 people convicted in the nearly 14-year trial, 81 people have been sentenced so far.
Today's death sentences still have to be ratified by the Supreme Court.
