Education may wean away youth like Kasab from terror: Clinton

Phuket, July 23: The confession of lone surviving 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab shows that he was “a young man without much purpose in life”, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said, pitching for good education and jobs to wean away the youth from “blandishment” of terrorist groups.

Clinton, who just concluded a five-day visit to India and was here to attend the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum meeting, referred to “the very dramatic trial” of Kasab during an interview with The Nation, a partner of the Asia News Network
