HEADLEY-ARRAIGNMENT

Chicago, Dec 8 (PTI) The arraignment for Pakistan-origin
US national David Coleman Headley charged with criminal
conspiracy in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks has been scheduled for
December 9.

"The arraignment for David Coleman Headley is scheduled
on December 9, 2009, before US District Judge Harry D
Leinenweber," a statement from the US Attorney's Office said.
Headley has been charged with conspiracy in the 2008
Mumbai attacks. The charges, filed in a court here, also
allege that Headley conducted extensive surveillance of
targets in India's commercial hub Mumbai for more than two
years preceding the November 2008 terrorist attacks that
killed about 163 people, including six Americans.
Headley was charged in a 12-count criminal information
with six counts of conspiracy to bomb public places in India,
murder and maim persons in India and Denmark, provide material
support to foreign terrorist plots, provide material support
to terror group Lashkar-e-Toiba, and six counts of aiding and
abetting the murder of US citizens in India.
Headley's attorney John Theis told PTI he was looking
into the charges filed and " would see what the evidence is".
Theis said the government has indicated in the charges
that Headley is cooperating with the investigation and "this
particular detail (that Headley is cooperating in the ongoing
investigation of both the Danish and Indian terror plots), we
will not dispute".
Headley has been in federal custody since his arrest in
October by the FBI. His detention hearing, originally
scheduled for December 4, had been indefinitely postponed. PTI
