Terrorist David Headley is testifying before Mumbai court via videoconference
Terrorist David Coleman Headley, testifying on the 26/11 attacks through a video link from the US, today named Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence or ISI. Here are five big points from his five-hour deposition, which will continue tomorrow.
David Headley named Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 attack and said he was motivated to work for the Lashkar e Taiba after hearing lectures by him. "I joined Lashkar in 2002 in Muzaffarabad where I took a course," he revealed.
He spoke about meeting an ISI officer called Major Ali, who introduced him to another ISI officer Major Iqbal.
He says two earlier attempts by the Mumbai attackers failed in September and October 2008. They succeeded in their third attempt in November, when 166 people were killed in a three-day siege.
Headley says he took orders directly from Lashkar e Taiba's Sajid Mir, who wanted him to set up business in India and gave him instructions to make general videos of Mumbai.
Headley has said he visited India eight times before the Mumbai attacks and once after.
