NEW DELHI: American-born Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist David Headley, accused of plotting Mumbai terror attack in 2008, had "hatred" towards India and warned that he would stop helping the probe if his admission of guilt was linked to cooperation with New Delhi.
According to a secret US embassy cable made public by WikiLeaks, this was conveyed by FBI director Robert Mueller during his meeting with home minister P Chidambaram in February this year.
"Noting that the process of Headley's proffer of evidence is nearing a critical stage, Mueller observed that Headley has expressed hatred toward India and may clam up if his guilty plea is tied in any way to cooperation with the government of India," the leaked cable by categorised as "secret" US envoy to India Timothy Roemer said.
While the home minister had said India would not be using the information provided by the US in prosecution of 26/11 Mumbai terror accused including Ajmal Kasab, Chidambaram, however, made it clear to Mueller that Indian sleuths had collected information on their own through examination of Headley's computer and emails.
The home minister had also insisted on having an access to Headley's spouse, Shaiza, who he said is in Chicago and so Indian investigators can question her on the meaning of her alleged message to Headley that she "saw your graduation."
Headley, accused of plotting the 26/11 Mumbai attacks at the behest of LeT and conspiring to target a Danish newspaper, pleaded guilty to all terror charges before a US court on March 18 this year.
The plea was seen as an attempt by 50-year-old Headley to escape death penalty as he faced six counts of conspiracy involving bombing public places in India, murdering and maiming persons in India and providing material support to foreign terrorist plots and LeT and six counts of aiding and abetting the murder of US citizens in India.
But his plea agreement with federal prosecutors ruled out death penalty and extradition to India, Pakistan and Denmark, provided he cooperates with the government's investigations into terrorist acts. Headley, a Chicago resident, was arrested by FBI's joint terrorism task force on October 3 last year.
Headley had admitted he participated in planning the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai as well as planning to attack a Danish newspaper later.
A 35-page plea agreement containing a detailed recitation of Headley's participation in terror conspiracies was presented when he changed his plea to guilty.
"By this plea agreement, defendant agrees to enter a voluntary plea of guilty to all counts," said the plea agreement of Headley.
"That's Hedley!"
He’s a Muslim.
“The LeT has consistently advocated the use of force and vowed that it would plant the ‘flag of Islam’ in Washington, Tel Aviv and New Delhi.”
And
“Hafiz Saeed, a scholar of Islam, has said that the purpose of Jihad is to carry out a sustained struggle for the dominance of Islam in the entire world and to eliminate the evil forces and the ignorant. He considers India, Israel and US to be his prime enemies and has threatened to launch Fidayeen (suicide squad) attacks on American interests too.
The Lashkar-e-Toiba does not believe in democracy and nationalism. According to its ideology, it is the duty of every ‘Momin’ to protect and defend the interests of Muslims all over the world where Muslims are under the rule of non-Muslim in the democratic system. It has, thus chosen the path of Jihad as the suited means to achieve its goal. Cadres are drawn from the Wahabi school of thought.”
And from whence does Wahabi come? That's right, our old 'friends' the Saudis.
And who finances Wahabi schools all over the planet? Once again you're right! It's our 'allies' the Saudis!
Mecca needs to disappear in a ball of radioactive fire....
... yesterday.
Have you heard of this little happening....
From ORBAT.COM Dec 16 Post.
uproar has broken out in India over the discovery of the profile and details of a Naik (Corporal) of the Engineers in the Shuhada (Martyrs) section of the official Pakistan Army website. The operation he was apparently involved in is described as ‘Suicide Attack’ and the place of death is disclosed as New Delhi, India.
..... A little investigation reveals that the NCO was admitted by the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi to the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital where he died of renal failure. Zulfikar Ahmed was apparently seconded to the ISI (which the website entry reveals) and posted to its New Delhi Station.
I don’t think the ISI would take the risk of allowing one of its regular, serving personnel to be personally involved in a suicide attack except in a supporting role. After all any post-attack investigation could’ve revealed his true identity leading to grave embarrassment for Pakistan.
Most probably he was involved in either making bombs, suicide vests or as an instructor in bomb-making to the many surrogate Pakistani terror outfits operating in India. This much can be deduced from his background as an NCO from the Engineers. All countries have intelligence personnel posted under diplomatic cover in their missions abroad.
This is probably the first time that a country has admitted that it posts saboteurs, suicide bombers or bomb-making instructors in one of its embassies. What this episode reveals is the malevolence with which the ISI and the Pakistan Army conducts its long-standing operations against the Indian State
Why we allow this to take a foothold in our Nation, under the guise of Freedom of Religion, is beyond me. When a 'Religion' says that they must assimilate or destroy all members of other beliefs -- that 'Religion' is not a Religion but the antithesis of civilization.
The West has made a death pact with political correctness. They'd rather commit suicide than be considered 'not tolerant'.
Very true.
That’s a shocking and interesting find.
As usual, nothing will be made of it, because it’s by Pakistan, bankrolled by the Saudis whom no one wants to touch.
Because, contrary to what his name implies, he was born to Pakistani parents and then changed his name to an Anglo sounding one as he liased with the Pakistani Consulate in Chicago, scouted out targets for the 2008 Bombay attacks and generally facilitated jihadi goals under the guise of a DEA informant.
So, his hatred was not due to bad Vindaloo and Pakoras, but inculcated from infancy, his uncle is a serving PakArmy Colonel and he spent much time there.
Typical scumbag Pak Army serving jihadi, hates Indians, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, even Indian Muslims but has no hesitation in entering the SirGangaRam Hospital for treatment.
I know it would have been imprudent and “counterproductive”, but India’s reticence in bombing Kashmiri Jihadi Camps and even her restraint after 2008 is sickening.
At some point, Pakistanis cannot....oh, never mind.
