Aurangabad Arms Haul case till August 2.

The special MCOCA court here reserved its order on quantum of sentence till August 2.

Special prosecutor Vaibhav Bagade said the entire world was now fighting the terror menace and the convicts were preparing to carry out acts of terrorism.

Rebutting the defence's argument that the convicts were merely footsoldiers and not the masterminds, Bagade said they were participating in the crime of their own will and not under somebody's pressure or under duress. "The convicts were part of the conspiracy too," Bagade said.

He also pointed out that Yakub Memon, convicted in 1993 Mumbai blasts case, was not the mastermind of the conspiracy, yet the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence.
