INDIA plans to seek access and eventual extradition of a Chicago man arraigned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for his alleged involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, a top Indian official said yesterday.
David Coleman Headley is accused of conducting surveillance on sites in Mumbai targeted in the November 2008 attacks that killed 166 people, and passing on the information to handlers in the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group in Pakistan. On Wednesday in Chicago, Headley pleaded not guilty to charges that he was involved in the attacks.
Indian Home Secretary G.K. Pillai said investigators from the FBI who were in New Delhi earlier this week had shared information on Headley. He said India's National Investigation Agency, or NIA, was expected to complete its investigations into Headley's links with the terror attacks over the next few weeks.
"We will definitely be seeking access both for interrogation and at a subsequent stage for his extradition," Pillai said.
