Washington: India has sought from the US access to Pakistani-American 26/11 Mumbai terror attack convict David Headley and his accomplice Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Hussain Rana, both found guilty of supporting Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
Indian Home Minsiter Sushilkumar Shinde during a meeting with US Attorney General Eric Holder here Tuesday is reported to have raised the issue of access to the LeT operative Headley, who has admitted to scouting targets for the Mumbai attack, and Rana, who provided him the cover of his immigration business. Shinde is now on a visit to the US.
While there was no official word from either side on discussions related to Headley and Rana, who were sentenced to 35 years and 14 years respectively by a Chicago court for their roles in the Mumbai attack and an abortive attack on a Danish newspaper, the issue is said to have come up prominently.
