Centre hints at sending a team to question Headley
March 22nd, 2010 - 11:06 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, Mar 22 (ANI): Centre on Monday indicated that the team of officers to question Lashkar operative David Headley a.k.a Daood Gilani would be prepared in a couple of days.
According to the Union Home Ministry sources, the team of officers comprising all concerned agencies with the case would travel to the United States as soon as the US Government gives permission.
On Thursday, Headley, pleaded guilty of helping the Lashkar-e-Toiba plot and in execution of 26/11 terror strike in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the US Department of Justice has asked India to be ready to send over a team that will have access to Headley.
The Union Government is likely to use Headley’s testimony to prove the involvement of Pakistani militants like Hafiz Saeed and others.
India has provided Pakistan with dossiers on Saeed and other Pakistani Jihadis, but Pakistan has so far maintained that there’s no evidence to prove Saeed was involved in the attacks on Mumbai. (ANI)
