Pak seeks more details on Headley from India

August 28, 2010 12:47 IST

Pakistan has handed over another dossier on Lashkar-e-Tayiba operative David Coleman Headley to India seeking more information about his role in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

Pakistan's High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik met Interior Minister Rehman Malik in Islamabad, briefing him over the latest development concerning the issue.

Headley, an American citizen of Pakistani origin, was arrested by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in October 2009 for plotting an attack on a Danish newspaper.
 
During his interrogation, he also confessed to his role in the Mumbai terror attacks in which Pakistani terrorists killed 166 people and injured over 200 others.
 
Headley, 49, told US interrogators that he had conducted a reconnaissance of the target sites before the attacks, having visited the country several times.
 
Headley has pleaded guilty on all 12 criminal counts against him, including his role in the 26/11 attacks conspiracy.

In June, a four-member National Investigation Agency team quizzed Headley for over a week, drawing information about his role in the ghastly 26/11 attacks.
