Pakistan on Thursday reacted in a guarded manner to the death sentence handed down to its national Ajmal Qasab by an Indian court for his involvement in the Mumbai attacks, saying its legal experts would study the detailed judgement.

"We have seen in India the reported judgement on Ajmal Qasab and the sentence has been pronounced today. You will appreciate that our legal experts need to go through the detailed judgement," Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said.
