HEADLEY-LD INDIA 2 LAST

The US has told India that it has zeroed-in on a
Pakistani national who could have been a link between Headley
and Rana and their Pakistan-based handlers.

Indian investigators wanted to interrogate Headley and
Rana and a team from New Delhi had gone to the US earlier this
month. But the US did not give access citing legal
compulsions.
However, sources downplayed this saying India understands
the compulsions and will "work around that". The sources also
said Obama has promised to provide all details about
Headley-Rana investigations to India.
According to Jones, "It(Headley-Rana case) is something
that the President and the Prime Minister discussed and both
of them were very satisfied with the outcome of those
discussions."
Jones told PTI in an interview in Washington that Obama
has given instructions to US authorities to share the
information with India regarding the Headley-Rana case,
despite the limitation posed by the country's legal system.
"At the President's direction we have been very
forthcoming with our Indian counterparts on sharing whatever
information we have which might be of some assistance to
(India)," Jones said, adding "as a result of the President's
guidance, we are doing as much as we can legally, without
jeopardising the process of the case."
He, however, said the US was unable to allow Indian
investigators access to the arrested LeT operatives because
certain aspects of the legal system here protect the rights of
the accused.
During his meeting with Obama, Singh had expressed
concern over "new hubs" of terrorism coming up in India's
neighbourhood, the sources said. PTI AKK
