COURT-HEADLEY 2 LAST

Besides Headley and Rana, who are now in the custody
of FBI at Illinois in the USA, the NIA has made Lakhvi, Saeed,
Major Iqbal and Major Sameer Ali of Pakistani army, Sajid Mir
and Abdul Rehman accused in the FIR lodged on November 11 last
year.
The accused have been booked under various provisions
of the IPC, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and SAARC
Convention (Suppression of Terrorism) Act, dealing with waging
war against the Government of India, conspiracy and procuring
arms and ammunitions.
All the accused are at present residing outside India.
The NIA, in the FIR, discussed the inputs provided by
the FBI saying a detailed probe was required to unravel the
entire conspiracy hatched by Headley and others to foment
trouble and carry out terror attacks in the country.
A team of the probe agency was recently accompanied by
a magistrate to Illinois to record the testimony of Headley
who had given his consent to attorney in the USA for deposing
before an Indian agency.
Headley and Rana, a Canadian citizen of Pakistani
origin, had come in contact with terror groups Lashker-e-Toiba
(LeT) and HuJI operatives in September 2006 for conspiring to
carry out terror attacks in New Delhi and other places in
India, NIA said.
Besides his various trips to India, Headley, in the
guise of an Immigration Law Consultant, had also come to Delhi
from Abu Dhabi on February 7 last year and went back via
Mumbai by an Ethihad filght after nearly ten days, NIA said.
The Pakistan-based handlers were in constant touch
with Headley and Rana to launch terror attacks in India, it
said adding Major Iqbal and Major Sameer Ali, who hailed from
Lahore and Karachi respectively, are members of Pakistan Army.
