India likely to gain access to Headley, Rana after indictment

New Delhi, Nov 29 (PTI) India indicated on Sunday the
possibility of gaining access to terror suspects David Coleman
Headley and Tahawwur Rana, both arrested by FBI, once they are
"indicted" by the US.

"We hope to have an access once both are indicted,"
Indian Home Secretary G K Pillai told PTI when asked about
Indian investigators' chances of getting access to the
arrested suspects, who planned a major terror plot to target
the country at the behest of LeT.
Pillai, who was speaking on the sidelines of a function,
said the investigations into the terror duo's Indian trails
will take another 3-4 weeks.
While Headley is a Pakistani-origin American national,
Rana is a Pakistan-born Canadian citizen.
India is expected to get information about the plans and
network of Headley and Rana next week when a high-level FBI
team visits New Delhi with "all details" of their probe.
India's National Security Adviser M K Narayanan had
Sunday said US President Barack Obama informed Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh that he was seized of the case related to
Headley and Rana.
During their meeting on Tuesday, Obama and Singh discussed
the issue with an assurance by the former to send a high-level
FBI team to India within a week with "all details", Narayanan
told journalists accompanying the Prime Minister on return
home from his two-nation tour of US and Trinidad & Tobago.
The team is expected to give exhaustive details about the
plans of Headley and Rana and their network in India.
"Let us see what information they share," Narayanan said.
