May 29, 2013 19:35

India may get access for the second time to Mumbai attack terrorist David Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana, currently in the custody of the United States, for questioning.

The positive indication was given by Washington to New Delhi during a recent bilateral meeting held in America. Government sources said following New Delhi's consistent persuasion, the United States has indicated to interlocutors that India could be given access to Headley, who carried out a recce of the 26/11 targets for the Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayiba, for the second time to get more information about the conspiracy hatched to carry out the 2008 attack.

The US, which has not given any opportunity to question Rana, may also allow Indian investigators to question the Pakistani-Canadian, who was sentenced by an American court for his involvement in a terror plot in Denmark.
