Chicago, Dec 10 (PTI) Pakistani-American David Coleman
Headley, a LeT operative arrested by FBI has pleaded not
guilty before a US court to all the charges filed against him
including that he conspired in the 26/11 Mumbai terror
attacks.

49-year-old Headley, arrested in October this year,
also pleaded not guilty to the charge of plotting terror
attacks in Denmark against a newspaper that published cartoons
of Prophet Mohammed. The next hearing of the case will be held
on January 12.
He was charged by the FBI on Monday in a 12-count
criminal information with six counts of conspiracy to bomb
places in India and Denmark and for providing material support
to terrorist plots.
Talking to reporters after the arraignment, Headley's
attorney John Theis said, "David Headley is charged with
certain acts arising out of things that happened in Denmark
and India. These are very serious charges and we are taking
them very seriously. I want to remind everyone that he is
presumed innocent of these charges against him," he said.
On whether Indian authorities could get a chance to
interrogate Headley, Theis said, "That is something we will
have to look at. I have no idea of assessing the chances. If
they make any such requests, we will look at it when it
comes," he said adding that as of now no requests have been
made to him regarding interrogation or extradition. (MORE) PTI
