“Understanding Indian press rumors about Headley”

SNIPPET: “I previously analyzed the rumors, centered around the Indian press, that David Headley had penetrated Lashkar-e-Taiba as a CIA asset. These rumors generally hold that Headley then “went rogue” and become committed to LeT’s mission before his involvement in the Mumbai attacks. Although I argued that these rumors should not be regarded as credible, the Indian media is now accepting Headley’s continued work for the US government as proven fact. (He is known to have worked for the DEA in Pakistan in 1999, but there is no concrete proof that he worked for any other US government agency thereafter.)
Further, claims about Headley grow more outlandish by the day.”
“Authorities: “Chicago man” charged with helping plot Mumbai attacks also conducted surveillance of nuclear plant”
(Posted December 20, 2009)
SNIPPET: An update on this story. “Chicagoan Said to Have Helped Terrorists Target Nuclear Plant,” by Richard Esposito and Brian Ross for ABC News, December 20 (thanks to Sr. Soph):
The Chicago man charged with helping plot the terror attacks one year ago in Mumbai also photographed and conducted surveillance of a nuclear weapons fuel plant in Tromboy, India, according to Indian and U.S. law enforcement authorities.
The authorities say David Headley was sent to Tromboy, a northwest suburb of Mumbai, by his handlers in the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, an affiliate of al Qaeda.
The Bhabha Atomic Research Center in Tromboy is capable of producing 66 pounds of plutonium a year for four the country’s nuclear weapons, according to David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security.”
