David Coleman Headley: U.S. To Let India Interrogate American Terror Convict

Indian investigators will be able to question a Chicago man who pleaded guilty to scouting targets for the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, a senior U.S. official said Saturday.



U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake said investigators probing the 2008 Mumbai terror attack would gain access to David Coleman Headley to learn more about his involvement, although he would not be extradited to India.

Headley has pleaded guilty to making surveillance videos in preparation for the siege of India's financial capital and to involvement in a plot to attack a Danish newspaper over cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

As part of Headley's plea bargain agreement, the United States agreed not to extradite him to India, Pakistan or Denmark for the charges for which he has admitted guilt.

Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said Friday that India had yet to receive permission from U.S. authorities to speak with Headley or his wife and would press for his extradition to India.

Although Headley could not be extradited under the terms of his plea bargain, it might be possible if new charges are brought against him at a future date, Blake told reporters.
