Indian team to leave for US Sunday to quiz Headley

New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) A four-member team of Indian
investigators will leave for the US on Sunday to interrogate
David Headley, who is accused of helping out Lashkar-e-Taiba
terrorists carry out the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
Three officers of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and
a law officer will travel to Chicago and are expected to
interrogate Headley next week, official sources said.
The team is being sent following a communication from the
US Justice Department that all concerned officials and the
lawyer of Headley will be available during the visit of the
Indian team to facilitate their access to Headley.
However, it is not clear yet as to for how many hours or
days the Indian team would get access to Headley.
Headley, a Chicago-based American with roots in Pakistan,
has already confessed to have conducted several reccees as
part of the planning for the ghastly attacks that killed 166
people in the country's financial capital in November 2008.
After being arrested in October last year, the 49-year
old entered into a plea bargain with the US government in
March this year, wherein he offered to be available to foreign
investigators through deposition, video conferencing or
letters rogatory. PTI
