Indian investigators, FBI sleuths to quiz Headley

Lalit K Jha
Washington, Oct 31 (PTI) Indian investigators would join
their FBI counterparts on Monday to question David Coleman
Headley, nabbed by FBI for plotting a major terror attack in
India at LeT's behest, as fresh inputs indicated that he was
planning to visit Pakistan this month.

The investigators from IB and RAW are also expected to
probe the terror-drug nexus as it has come to light that
Headley was charged by a federal court in New York in 1997
with smuggling heroin to the US, according to court documents
accessed by PTI.
One of Headley's cousins, Farid Gilani of Philadelphia,
told the Chicago Sun-Times that he spoke to Headley over the
phone about a month ago. "He was supposed to come (and) visit
me, but he never came," Farid Gilani was quoted as saying. "He
said 'I am going back home to Pakistan."
Court papers said Headley, alias 'Daood Gilani', was
planning to go to Pakistan this month, before which he was
nabbed by the FBI.
49-year-old Headley was arrested on October 18 along with
Tahawwur Hussein Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani origin,
by FBI at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport before
boarding a flight to Philadelphia, intending to travel to
Pakistan.
Knowledgeable sources said while the Indian investigators
would like to solve the 'Rahul' puzzle, the FBI is keen to
gain from the Indian expertise in quizzing known LeT-linked
terrorists and acquaintances. (More) PTI LKJ
