External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Tuesday expressed happiness over media reports that Indian investigating agencies would get direct access to David Coleman Headley, the man charged with scouting targets for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Reacting to media reports that India would get a chance to interrogate Headley, Krishna said, "I think that is good news from the United States."

Krishna also said that India would raise the issue of terror infrastructure in Pakistan in the upcoming South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation summit in Bhutan.

Responding to India's concerns about Taliban camps and terror infrastructure in Pakistan, Krishna said, "I think that has been the basic point we have been mentioning where ever we go and with whom so ever we talk."

"I think that is our concern. It is that which threatens the tranquility in this region," he added.

It has been reported that during Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's 50-minute meeting with US President Barack Obama at Blair House on Sunday afternoon, the American president assured the Indian side that it would get access to David Headley.
