US in touch with both India, Pak on Headley-Rana case: Crowley

US-HEADLEY

Washington, Dec 9 (PTI) The US has said it is in
communication with both India and Pakistan on the case of LeT
operatives David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana,
who were arrested by FBI in October on charges of plotting
terror attacks against Indian facilities.

"We obviously have a role to play in terms of dialogue
with these countries," Assistant Secretary of State for Public
Affairs, P J Crowley, told reporters.
A team of FBI officials is currently in India to brief
Indian investigating agencies on the findings of their probe
with regard to the Headley-Rana case. The FBI team would then
travel to Pakistan.
The State Department on Monday said the visit of FBI team
reflects the commitment of US President Barack Obama to Indian
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the Indian leader's
recent visit here to cooperate closely on the case.
The US Department of Justice and the FBI sent a briefing
team that shared with their Indian law-enforcement
counterparts information disclosed by Headley relating to his
alleged role in the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks and
plotting of an attack in Denmark.
During last month's State visit of Prime Minister Singh,
Obama had discussed the issue with the Indian leader and had
promised full US support in sharing the results of the FBI
investigations. PTI LKJ
