HEADLEY 3 LST

According to ProPublica, Major Iqbal of ISI gave Headley
secret documents on India. He assigned a non-commissioned
officer (NCO) to give the American standard intelligence
training.
Headley learnt techniques for detecting surveillance,
developing sources and other skills, then practised with the
lower-ranking officer on the streets of Lahore.
The specialised training lasted several months and
continued intermittently afterward as Major Iqbal taught
Headley how to use cameras and other devices for missions, the
report says.
"I became close to Major Iqbal," Headley told
interrogators. "The training given by this NCO under the
guidance of Major Iqbal was much more scientific and effective
than the trainings I did in the LeT camps."
Phone and e-mail evidence have corroborated Headley's
contact with Major Iqbal and other suspected ISI officers, US
and Indian officials say.
Major Iqbal has been detected directing intelligence and
terror operations in other cases, officials say, according to
the investigations.
If the news report is to be believed, ISI helped Headley
in every aspect of the Mumbai terrorist attacks.
ISI officers supplied a boat for a failed first attempt
to send the gunmen to Mumbai and intervened when the
American's chaotic personal life got him in trouble just two
months before the attacks, the report says.
Headley said the Mumbai plot caused -- and resulted from
-- conflict in the Lashkar-ISI partnership.
Disillusioned militants demanding a bigger role in
fighting in Afghanistan were defecting to al-Qaeda and the
Taliban, while chiefs of Lashkar and the ISI tried to keep the
main focus on Kashmir, he said.
In response to the dangerous internal rifts, Lashkar
decided on a spectacular al-Qaeda-style strike on Western
targets in Mumbai, and the ISI approved the shift in tactics,
Headley explained.
"The ISI I believe had no ambiguity of understanding the
necessity to strike India (and)... shifting and minimising the
theatre of violence from the domestic soil of Pakistan," he
said. PTI
