Mumbai: The prosecution in the Mumbai 2008 terror attacks trial concluded examining Pakistani-American terrorist-turned-approver David Coleman Headley on Saturday.
During his deposition, Headley said that an ISI major had informed him that the detention of the Lashkar-e-Toiaba (LeT) leadership by the Federal Investigating Agency of Pakistan was “superficial”.
He also revealed that the Southern Command of the Indian Army was also on the ISI’s radar.
Answering questions by special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, Headley confirmed that he sent emails to Sajid Mir and Major Pasha to know if the LeT leaders were all right because he got worried after he came to know that Pakistan’s FIA had detained Hafiz Saeed and Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi during their investigation into the 26/11 terror attacks.
Headley said that Major Abdul Rehman Pasha of the ISI replied to his email in code that the detentions were superficial. However, during his five-day evidence, Hea-dley has not mentioned Syed Zabiuddin, alias Abu Jundal, who is currently facing the charge of being a part of the conspiracy.
Therefore, the prosecution has to now prove that the details Headley gave corroborate with the confessional statement given by Jundal or the evidence collected by the investigating agency.
