Barack Obama is despatching a high-level FBI team to India
in a week to share "all details" of its probe into the plans
and network of US terror suspect David Headley and his
Pakistani-Canadian associate Tahawwur Rana.

India's National Security Adviser M K Narayanan Sunday
said Obama has told Prime Minister Manmohan Singh that he was
seized of the case related to Headley and Rana, the two
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)operatives arrested by the FBI on the
charges of plotting attacks in India at the behest of the
Pakistan-based terror outfit.
Obama told Singh during their summit talks in Washington
on Tuesday that he would be sending a high-level FBI team to
India within a week with "all details", Narayanan told
journalists accompanying the Indian Prime Minister on his
return home from a two-nation tour of US and Trinidad and
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.
Headley, a Pakistani-born American, and Rana were
arrested by the FBI in October on the charges of plotting
attacks in India and Denmark.
According to US National Security Adviser James Jones,
Obama has shown personal interest in the Headley-Rana case and
the matter was discussed during his meeting with Singh.
Indian officials suspect that Headley and Rana could
have been involved in the 26/11 attacks but there is no
evidence in this regard so far.(MORE) PTI AKK
