Pakistani terrorist helped carry out deadly attacks worldwide
It's not easy being the chief of one of the U.S. Department of Defense's largest contractors. At the trial of accused terrorist David Coleman Headley, he revealed that he plotted with al-Qaida and local Pakistani terrorists to assassinate the head of Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT).
I. A Troubled Past
David Headley grew up as Daood Sayed Gilani. The son of a U.S. government radio broadcaster and diplomat at the U.S. Pakistani embassy in Washington D.C., Mr. Gilani was immersed in American culture. But when his parent's marriage fractured in 1960s Mr. Gilani was dragged to Pakistan and became indoctrinated with local attitudes and prejudices.
In 1977 after a coup in Pakistan, his mother came and brought him back to the U.S. He worked at her bar and briefly married a Pennsylvania State University student, but was divorced due to the vast cultural differences.
She recalled, "When he would go to Pakistan he would get all riled up again. Infidels. He would use words like that. When he would see an Indian person in the street, he used to spit, spit in the street to make a point. I guess he was torn between two cultures. I think he liked both. He didn't know how to blend them."

Oh wait...
Sorry folks. Islam cannot be tolerated. It’s an evil cancer. It’s a crime against humanity, just like any other crime. It isn’t a religion. It is evil no matter how people try to sugar-coat it.
I think it was some politco from Singapore who said that they could intergrate any religion into their society excpt islam.
Wait a second here, perhaps Haji’s really on to something here? Consider all these corporate types that have stolen billions from taxpayers through lobby efforts and outright theft. Is anybody keeping a list, so we can clean up the country after 2012. Let’s keep picture files too!

SNIPPET: “The targeting of corporate executives from military suppliers first came public in May. At a trial in Chicago, an accused terrorist, David Headley, acknowledged that a Pakistan-based branch of Al Qaeda had plotted to kill Robert Stevens, the head of Lockheed Martin. The company manufacturers drones prominently used in targeting Osama bin Laden and other members of the terror network.
The list came from the Al Qaeda-linked Ansar Al Mujahedeen jihadist forum and was first made public on the Homeland Security Today website.
The security website obtained a a jihadist “hit list” of 58 people that accompanied a June 6 Florida federal bulletin.”

Headley Part of al-Qaida Plot to Attack Lockheed Martin
by IPT News • May 31, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Self-confessed Mumbai plotter David Coleman Headley testified Tuesday that he was part of an al-Qaida inspired plot to assassinate the chief of U.S. defense contractor Lockheed Martin.
The plot was the brainchild of Ilyas Kashmiri, leader of the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI), and a senior commander of al Qaida’s deadly 313 Brigade.
Headley is the key prosecution witness in the ongoing terrorism trial of a Chicago businessman, Tahawuur Hussain Rana. He used Rana’s immigration office in Mumbai as a cover to scout for targets for the November 2008 Mumbai terrorist strike. Ten gunmen from the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) are suspected of being behind the plot that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
Headley has pleaded guilty to his role in the attacks and agreed to cooperate with federal investigators in exchange for evading the death penalty.
Headley told the jury he used Rana’s computer to research details about Lockheed Martin and its CEO for Kashmiri, who was outraged at American drone strikes in Pakistan and wanted to attack the U.S. defense contractor in retaliation.
“There was a plan to kill him because he was making drones,” Headley said.
