Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Tuesday slammed the high level of security and 'special treatment' accorded to Mohammed Ajmal Amir Qasab, the lone Pakistani terrorist captured during the Mumbai attacks, and demanded that his trial be wrapped up within a month.

In a scathing editorial in Saamna, the party mouthpiece, Thackeray said that a huge amount of taxpayers' money has been wasted in providing security to 'Qasab Saheb' (Qasab Sir).
