Washington: US President Barack Obama believes that indictment of David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American charged with criminal conspiracy in Mumbai terror attacks, is an "important day" in his effort to protect the people from terrorists.
"Obviously, I continue to say, and the President does, too, that we have taken and will continue to take every step necessary to protect the American people. Today was an important day in doing that," White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters at his daily press briefing in response to a question.
Headley was charged by the FBI and the US Department of Justice for being involved in the planning of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack that killed about 163 people including half a dozen American nationals.
