Fmr Pak Army major made Headley pose as Jew; links to 26/11

Sumir Kaul
Mumbai, Dec 2 (PTI) A former Pakistan Army Major, who
has joined the ranks of Lashker-e-Taiba(LeT), is emerging as
one of the masterminds of the Mumbai carnage and was in direct
touch with arrested US terror suspect David Headley.

The former armyman identified as Sajid Mir has turned
out to be Headley's handler in Pakistan and was tasking the
American to learn praying like Jews so that he could conduct a
recce of Jewish Centre Nariman House in Mumbai and the
premises of a newspaper in Denmark, official sources said here
Wednesday.
The sources said Mir has been arrested in Pakistan but
this could not be independently verified.
The 48-year-old American-born Headley, who was arrested
by the FBI sleuths at airport in Chicago in October this year
for allegedly plotting to carryout terror strikes in India and
Denmark, had told his investigators that he had learnt praying
like Jews at the instance of Mir, who was now emerging as one
of the mastermind of the terror strikes in Mumbai last
November in which 166 people were killed.
Mir, according to the sources, asked Headley to learn
praying like Jews as this could help him to target Flemming
Rose, a cartoonist of Danish newspaper besides helping him in
conducting a reccee of the Nariman House, a place which was
attacked by LeT terrorists on November 26. (MORE) PTI SKL
