CDs containing the telephonic talks between the journalists and two terrorists Shahdulla and Imran Babbar from Hotel Oberoi and Nariman House respectively, were played before the special court here.

The terrorists asked the channel to air the conversation live so that their demands were revealed to everyone.

The terrorists, while in conversation with the anchor Archana Singh of the news channel, said they wanted all the 'Mujahideens' arrested in India to be released and the minority community to be treated with respect.

The terrorists, however, claimed that they were from Deccan Hyderabad in India and were fighting for the cause of the minority community throughout the nation.

Lone surviving Pakistan gunman Ajmal Kasab and two Indians, Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed, are facing trial in a special court on the charge of killing 166 persons in the terror attacks.

Kasab and nine other slain terrorists had come to India from Pakistan through sea route and attacked Hotels Taj and Oberoi, Nariman House and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) and planted bombs in two taxis on November 26 last year.
