Headley Visited India Before 26/11
Lashkar-e-Toiba accused militant David C Headley had made frequent visits to India before the Mumbai attacks on November 26 last year, Chidambaram confirmed. US based operatives Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana were arrested last month by FBI and had been proved of having close ties with the Pakistani militants.
“He visited India many a times before 26/11. We are investigating probable link between 26/11 and Headley. ”
US investigatives had, for quite some time, suspected Al Qaeda and LeT to have been using unsuspecting western nationals as part of their terror schemes. And it took quite a while to share and exchange such investigative information “with our foreign partners as we worked together to mitigate these threats,” David Kris, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, further added, “this case is a reminder that the threat posed by international terrorist organizations is global in nature and requires constant vigilance at home and abroad.”
Reports of LeT making new terror plans against India have been doing the rounds.
