A team of Indian investigators will travel to the United States next week to question David Coleman Headley, arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for plotting terror-attacks overseas, including India.

The team comprising officials of the Intelligence Bureau and Research and Analysis Wing will travel to the US to question Headley next week, official sources said on Thursday.

They said the US has already shared with India some information gathered during the investigation of the case and interrogation of Headley. The US has also sought cooperation of India to further collaborate the information provided to them by the American national, who was arrested early this month by FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force at the O'Hare International Airport in Chicago before boarding a flight to Philadelphia, intending to travel to Pakistan.

The team will also try to get information about Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 48, also known as Tahawar Rana, who was arrested along with Headley, the sources said.

According to the FBI affidavit filed in a Chicago court, Headley was in close contact with Ilyas Kashmiri and several unidentified leaders of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. Kashmiri is the operational chief of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir section of Harakat-ul Jihad Islami , a Pakistani-based terrorist organisation having links with the Al Qaeda.
