Headley a frequent flyer to Pakistan: FBI
Washington, Nov 1 (PTI) US national David Coleman Headley,
nabbed by FBI for plotting a major terror attack in India at
LeT's behest, was a frequent flyer who made multiple trips to
Pakistan where he spent "substantial time" undergoing training
from the terror group, American investigators have said.
49-year-old Headley was arrested on October 3 along with
Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 48, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani
origin, by FBI at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport as he
prepared to board a flight to Philadelphia, intending to
travel to Pakistan.
According to the affidavit submitted by FBI to the US
District Court of Illinois, Headley, alias 'Daood Gilani', at
times has claimed to be a consultant with or representative of
First World Immigration Services, a company owned and operated
by Rana.
Surveillance of Headley's activities as well as his phone
conversations and e-mail exchanges, reflect that he performed
few services for First World.
"Headley has no known or reported employment other than
with First World. His residence in Chicago is an apartment
leased to an individual who is deceased," the affidavit says.
"Notwithstanding his apparent lack of financial resources
and substantial employment, Headley has engaged in extensive
international travel since the second half of 2008, including
multiple trips to Pakistan and various countries in Europe,"
it says. (More) PTI
