The FBI said that in his September seven conversation
with Headley, Rana had also discussed the National Defence
College in India as a "target".
"Headley added this target to their list of previously
discussed targets, saying 'sorry not four, five,' and
identified the 'defence college'. Rana responded, 'right, this
is it, I knew already'," the US investigating agency said.
Rana had appeared in court on December 2 for his
detention hearing but a decision to release him on bond was
postponed till December 15 by Judge Nan Nolan, who said she
needed more time to review the evidence, including his
statement to the FBI after his arrest in October.
US prosecutors have filed a third memorandum "in
support of motion to detain Rana pending trial", saying that
he "knew in advance" of the 26/11 Mumbai strikes.
Opposing Rana's release on bail, the prosecutors argued
that according to a conversation between Rana and 48-year-old
Headley in a "long car ride", it has come to light that Rana
"was told in advance that the attacks in Mumbai were to
happen" and in fact "offered compliments and congratulations
to those who carried them out afterwards".
The memorandum was submitted by United States Attorney
Patrick Fitzgerald.
The Pakistani-Canadian has denied the charges against him
and offered a security of nearly a million dollars in support
of his bail application. (More) PTI
