Washington:
Tahawwur Rana may not have been held guilty of the deadly 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, but US would consider giving India further access to David Coleman Headley should investigating agencies place such a request.
Speaking to reporters, US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said, "We've said in the past we've granted that access. But in the future we would consider those - providing that access again."
US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, while on a visit to India last month, too had assured of more access to Headley.
A team of Indian officials had questioned Headley last year in Chicago. Headley has pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism charges including his involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks that left 166 people, including six Americans, dead in November 2008.
Headley later turned into a witness against 26/11 co-accused Tahawwur Rana.
