Mumbai: Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thakckeray was on Tuesday dismissive of Mumbai terror attack accused David Headley's testimony in a Chicago court that a plot was involving his handlers in Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI and terror outfit LeT was hatched to kill him. "We are not afraid of Headley. We have seen many such Headleys", Thackeray said in a statement. He alleged that it was "due to Congress governments in the state and at the Centre that they (Headleys) are encouraged". Thackeray said that a few Shiv Sena workers are enough for his security. "My stance has been in the country's interest and it will continue to remain so", he added. Giving his testimony on the second day of the trial of 26/11 co-accused Tawahhur Rana, a Canadian of Pakistani origin, Headley, a Pakistani-American who had surveyed Sena headquarters in Mumbai in 2008, testified there was a plot involving his handlers in ISI and LeT to assassinate Bal Thackeray. Headley also talked about the hatred against Sena among his Pakistani handlers.
