American's terror plan for India was serious
NDTV Correspondent, Thursday October 29, 2009, New Delhi

India is sending a team of intelligence officials to question the American who was allegedly planning Mumbai-like terror attacks in cities across India.

David Coleman Headley was arrested by the FBI in Chicago on October 3, for planning attacks against India and Denmark. Indian intelligence officials want exclusive access to him in America, instead of joint questioning with the FBI.

Sources reveal that the Indian Government has been informed that Headley's plot was bigger what the FBI has revealed so far. India is also worried by information that Headley's handler was Pakistan-based terrorist Ilyas Kashmiri.

The FBI says that Headley, an American citizen, was allegedly working with top Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives, based in Pakistan. Born American, he lived and attended school in Pakistan under the name Dawood Gilani.

The agency also claims that Headley mentioned a prominent Indian actor identified only as 'Rahul' as the main target. Indian authorities say they have no clue who this Rahul could be.

Headley and a Pakistani-Canadian, Tahawwur Hussain Rana , were planning to attack the offices of the Danish newspaper that published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed ; also on their target list, cities in India.

The FBI affidavit says Headley visited India to plan the attack on behalf of the LeT. He was also in close contact over email with Ilyas Kashmiri and several unidentified leaders of LeT, two of whom are identified as "LeT member A" and "LeT member B."
