FBI's India visit shows Obama commitment on Headley-Rana case

Washington, Dec 8 (PTI) The visit of an FBI team to
Indian national capital New Delhi to share the results of its
ongoing investigations on the Headley-Rana case shows the
commitment of President Barack Obama on the case, the US State
Department has said.

"This visit reflects the President's commitment to Indian
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during his recent visit to
cooperate closely on the case," State Department spokesman Ian
Kelly told reporters Monday at his daily press briefing.
The US Department of Justice and the FBI sent a briefing
team that shared with Indian law-enforcement counterparts
information disclosed by Headley relating to his alleged role
in the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and his alleged
role in plotting an attack in Denmark, he said.
During last month's State visit of Singh, Obama had
discussed the issue with the Indian leader and had promised
full US support in sharing the results of the FBI
investigations.
Kelly said the FBI has been consulting closely with
Pakistani authorities on this case, following the practices
developed in previous high-profile counterterrorism
investigations.
"After the meetings in New Delhi, this team of the
Department of Justice and the FBI will travel directly to
Islamabad to brief appropriate Pakistani security officials.
We're also working with Pakistani officials to follow up on
leads regarding Headley's activities in Pakistan," he said.
