26/11 terrorist Ajmal Amir Qasab's supporters in Pakistan use networking sites to whip up support for him
Terrorist Amir Ajmal Qasab, one of the 10 terrorists in the November 26 terror attacks on Mumbai, has attracted a huge fan following among Pakistanis on social networking sites like Facebook and Orkut.
One fan of the terrorist, who created an Ajmal Qasab fan club on Orkut, claims Qasab's arrest is part a conspiracy by Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis wing (RAW). "Well, this is my fan club.

I need no introduction. Nowadays, I am busy with officials, trying to prove myself Pakistani," he writes, posing as Qasab.
Another fan, from Faridkot, Pakistan, has chronicled the terrorist's life with a collection of photos and videos related to him. Many have even hailed him as the 'ultimate terrorist' on the networking sites.
Not surprisingly, there are many who hate Qasab. The anti-Qasab group wants him hanged.
One such Orkut member writes, 'Youth of India.
I will vote for a party, which will burn Qasab alive at the Gateway of India. End the violence, hang Qasab. This will be a message to all terrorists."
