Pak link to Headley plot: India





Hyderabad/New Delhi, Nov 6 (PTI) India on Friday said
two persons have been arrested in Pakistan in connection with
Lashkar-e-Taiba's plot to target vital installations here,
which was exposed in the US, showing the "obvious Pakistan
link" to the conspiracy.

Pakistan, however, has provided no information to India
in relation to the conspiracy, Prime Minister of India
Manmohan Singh said.
"There is an obvious Pakistan link. (David Coleman)
Headley visited Pakistan a number of times and I think on the
advice of the FBI, two or perhaps more people have been
arrested in Pakistan," Union Home Minister P Chidambaram told
reporters in Hyderabad in south India about the plot which was
foiled with the arrest of the LeT operative by the FBI last
month.
He was asked if there was any input on Pakistan's link
to the plot to attack the prestigious National Defence College
in New Delhi in which the FBI has arrested Headley, a US
national, and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Pakistan-born Canadian
citizen and a resident of Chicago.
To a similar poser to Singh at a joint press conference
with his Swedish counterpart Fredrik Reinfeldt in Delhi, the
prime minister said, "To the extent I have information on this
Headley affair, I don't think we have received any information
from the Pakistani side."
Chidambaram said affidavits have been filed by the FBI
in connection with the plot in a Chicago court. (MORE) PTI SJR
