Mumbai Witness: Terrorist Group Got Help from Pakistani Intelligence

23 May 2011  VOA News The U.S. government's star witness in the trial of a
businessman charged with helping plan the 2008 Mumbai attacks says the
Pakistani terrorist group that carried them out, Lashkar-e-Taiba, got help
from Pakistani intelligence.

David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American, testified Monday in the trial
of Tahawwur Rana, which began last week in the U.S. city of Chicago. Rana
allegedly helped Headley scout targets in Mumbai, India's financial hub.

Headley testified that he received weapons and other training from Lashkar.
When a prosecutor asked him about the relationship between the group and
Pakistani intelligence, he said "they coordinated with each other." He gave
no details.

India has long accused Pakistan of harboring the militants who carried out
the Mumbai attack.

Headley told jurors Monday he is a long-time 

friend of Rana, a Canadian national who has lived in Chicago for years, and
that he used Rana's immigration firm as a cover when he traveled to India. 

Rana has pleaded innocent. His attorneys say he had no knowledge that
Headley was going to Mumbai to plan a terrorist attack.

Headley has already pleaded guilty to terrorism charges. He agreed to
testify against Rana as part of a plea bargain.

Lashkar terrorists took over a hotel, a Jewish center and other buildings in
Mumbai for three days in November 2008. The attack killed 166 people,
including six Americans.
