David Coleman Headley to testify at Mumbai terror case: Attorney

CHICAGO: A Pakistani-American who pleaded guilty to laying the groundwork for the deadly 2008 Mumbai attack will testify in the trial of a Chicago businessman accused of helping his former friend in the plot, federal prosecutors said Monday.

The trial of Tahawwur Rana is being closely watched worldwide for what testimony might reveal about suspected links between the Pakistani militant group blamed in the attacks and the nation's main intelligence agency, which has been under scrutiny after Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces on May 2 outside Islamabad.

During opening statements, Assistant US Attorney Sarah Streicker said Rana provided cover for David Coleman Headley, who took photos and videos of targets in Mumbai before the attacks and that Rana led Headley to pose as a representative for his Chicago-based immigration businesses. Rana, 50, has pleaded not guilty.

Streicker said Monday that Headley would testify at Rana's trial. Headley is cooperating with the government and may discuss allegations that Pakistan's government knew or possibly helped plan the attack blamed on the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba that killed more than 160 people including six Americans.

But attorneys for Rana, who's also accused of planning an attack that never happened on a Danish newspaper, have said their client was simply duped by his longtime friend and didn't know what plot was in store. Headley and Rana, a Pakistani-born Canadian, met at one of Pakistan's most prestigious military boarding schools and stayed in touch as adults.

Chicago trial puts ISI in spotlight amid Pak terror drama

CHICAGO/WASHINGTON: They go back a long way to the 1970s, buddies and colleagues at a military school, Hasan Abdal Cadet College, in Pakistan. From there, their lives took different trajectories.

Osama’s Yemeni wife led US to Abbottabad?

LONDON: Pakistan interior minister Rehman Malik believes US had a mole right inside Osama bin Laden's Abbottabad hideout and this was how the al-Qaida chief was tracked down, a media report said on Sunday.

Top US officials said after the raid that they were only partially certain of Osama's presence inside the $1 million mansion, but Malik says only definitive information could have led them right to the room where bin Laden was killed, according to a report in The Sunday Times. The report also says that bin Laden's Saudi wives believe it was his younger Yemeni wife Amal who betrayed him.

"In my experience of years as an intelligence officer, I think someone from inside may have given information," said Malik. "If the Americans didn't have definitive information, they couldn't have gone straight to the room where bin Laden was," he was quoted as saying by the paper.

A pocket guide carried by the US Navy Seals who killed Osama, suggests "bin Laden had fathered twins in captivity" referring to the unidentified children born this year to his youngest wife Amal, 28.

The document, left behind in the compound, lists the names and ages of those who were present, including bin Laden's wives, children and grandchildren. It also details where they lived in the compound and when they arrived.

According to the report, after the mission Obama said he had been "only 45% to 55% sure that bin Laden was even in the compound". The document, which is believed to have been carried by all the Seals on the mission, however, indicates that US intelligence was certain of his presence.

Some Pakistani officials, including Malik, believe the briefing points to the presence of a mole in the compound. The two elder Saudi wives of bin Laden have accused Amal of betraying bin Laden, either by supplying information or by allowing herself to be tracked to the compound.

There have been reports of visits to the compound by donors and a Taliban commander. The other possibility is that US drone technology is far more sophisticated.

Documents also reveal for the first time that the two courier brothers moved to Abbottabad in 2006 from Mardan where Abu Faraj al-Libbi, the al-Qaida No 3, was captured in May 2005. According to Guantanamo detainee assessment published by WikiLeaks, he was caught while waiting for a courier. He had earlier been living in Abbottabad.

According to the report, an employee at Abbottabad Post Office was tracked after he received suspiciously large cash transfers and he led investigators to Umar Patek, one of the Bali bombers, arrested in Abbottabad in January. All these arrests in the same area seem more than coincidence, it said.

T R Baalu to represent DMK at UPA anniversary celebrations

CHENNAI: Smarting under the electoral debacle, DMK will make a token representation at the second anniversary celebrations of UPA-II in New Delhi on Friday in which none of its six Union ministers will be present.

The DMK, the third largest constituent in the UPA coalition with 18 MPs, will be represented by its parliamentary party leader T R Baalu at the function to be held at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's residence this evening.

"DMK parliamentary party chief T R Baalu will attend it," party president M Karunanidhi told reporters here when asked who would represent DMK at the dinner.

Six DMK ministers, including two with cabinet rank -- Dayanidhi Maran and M K Alagiri, will not attend the dinner, which will see the participation of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and leaders of other allied parties.

Asked about the DMK-Congress ties, Karunanidhi said "It is not like what you think."

Sulking over his daughter and party MP Kanimozhi's arrest, M Karunanidhi discussed with other leaders the issue of attending the celebrations till the small hours of the day.

DMK ministers and MPs reached here from Delhi last night.

Sources said the decision was taken as the DMK is not in a celebratory mood with Kanimozhi in jail on bribery charges.

Upset over her arrest, Karunanidhi had on Friday said that he was in a position like that of any father whose daughter faced a similar situation for no fault of hers.

He had also said the DMK general council would decide on future ties with Congress.
