TERROR-PROBE 2

A mysterious 'Rahul' appeared to have been the prime
target of Headley, who had made several trips to India and
intended to stay in the country for some time -- two to four
weeks -- to execute the Lashkar-e-Taiba plans, according to US
investigators.

An affidavit filed by FBI in a Chicago court stated that
Headley in an e-mail on July eight to a senior LeT leader
whose, name has not been revealed but who has been identified
as 'LeT individual A', said, "I think when we get a chance we
should revisit our last location again and say Hi to Rahul".
Following his arrest, Headley has stated that the
reference was to 'Rahul', a prominent Indian actor with that
first name, the FBI said in its complaint.
Home Minister P Chidambaram appeared to suggest in New
Delhi that 'Rahul' figuring as a target of Headley is not
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
"It is not the Rahul that you think it is. It could be a
pseudonym, it could be a code name but please be assured that
it is not the Rahul that you think is," he said.
Based in Pakistan, the banned LeT has been mainly
involved in terrorist attacks in India, including the Mumbai
strikes last year in November.
The FBI has told a Chicago court that both Headley, who
before 2006 was known as Daood Gilani, and 48-year-old Rana,
now lodged in a downtown Chicago jail, were in close contact
with LeT leaders in connection with a major terrorist attack
in India. (More) PTI LKJ
