India wants to question US man on Mumbai attack

None

India is seeking access to interrogate a Chicago man who pleaded guilty to scouting targets for the 2008 Mumbai attacks in a US court this week, the Home Minister said on Friday. David Headley, 49, admitted involvement in preparations for the attack on India's financial hub, which killed 166 people and prompted India to break off a formal peace dialogue with neighbouring Pakistan.

 

Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said though authorities in United States had shared "a significant amount of information" about Headley, New Delhi had "many more questions" and was gearing up to charge him "at the appropriate time". India wants to interrogate Headley or be able to ask him questions in a court testimony, Chidambaram said. (Reuters)
