Rana trial: ISI helped LeT to carry out Mumbai attacks
Chicago: Pakistan's spy agency ISI helped terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba to execute the Mumbai terror attacks, David Coleman Headley, a key 26/11 accused who pleaded guilty to laying the groundwork for the 2008 strikes, told a court here today. The testimony by 50-year-old Headley, a prosecution witness, came as the trial of Mumbai attacks co-accused and his longtime friend Tahawwur Rana, a Canadian of Pakistani origin, opened in the US at Chicago's Dirksen Federal Building. Pakistani-American Headley is also a co-accused. Headley had scouted India's key atomic installation BARC and had visited Shiv Sena headquarters in Mumbai, prosecutor Sarah Streicker told Judge Harry D Leinenweber. Headley had gone to Shiv Sena office to build contacts with its public relations officer Rajaram Rege. In his statements, Headley said ISI provided help to LeT and that he first started training in Pakistan more than a decade ago with the Lashkar.
