"Chicago man admits role in India attacks" by Mike Robinson, Associated Press | March 19, 2010
CHICAGO — A Chicago man admitted yesterday that he scouted the Indian city of Mumbai for a 2008 terrorist attack that left 166 people dead and plotted an attack on a Danish newspaper over cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
David Coleman Headley, 49, a US citizen, pleaded guilty in US District Court to all 12 counts he faced. Under a deal with prosecutors, he will not face execution if he continues to cooperate with their terrorism investigation.
This is such a load of BS.
He could face up to life in prison and a $3 million fine. His lawyer, Robert Seeder, said Headley’s decision to talk was “a manifestation and example of his regret.’’
Headley admitted he made surveillance videos and gathered other intelligence for the Mumbai attack. Nine of the 10 gunmen were killed in the three-day siege. The United States and India say the gunmen were trained and directed by the Pakistani terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Headley also said that he met with a Pakistan-based terrorist leader, Ilyas Kashmiri, in May 2009 and that Kashmiri told him he had a contact who could provide money, weapons, and manpower for an attack on Denmark’s Jyllands Posten newspaper.
That attack never happened.
The paper offended many Muslims with its cartoons.I can certainly understand why.

"Trial into Mumbai terrorist attacks ends" by Associated Press | April 1, 2010
MUMBAI — The trial into the 2008 terrorist attacks and the deaths of 166 people during the siege closed yesterday, less than a year after it opened — a speed rare in the Indian judicial system.
The special court that heard the case into the assault — for which India blames the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba — said it would issue a verdict May 3.
On trial are Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, a Pakistani Indian investigators allege is the only surviving gunman from the rampage in India’s financial hub in November 2008. Also on trial are two Indian codefendants accused of helping plot the attacks....

Indian courts are notorious for delays in dispensing justice, with trials often taking years to go to court and moving slowly through the system once there. But this case was made top priority because of the enormity of the assault. The prosecution examined some 610 witnesses since the trial began in April.
Kasab, 21, had told the judge that he wanted to attack India to free the divided region of Kashmir.

Oh, you didn't know about those, America?
During the terrorist attacks, which lasted nearly three days, 10 men armed with assault rifles stormed two hotels, a Jewish center, and the train station. Nine gunmen were killed.
Yeah, that stuff is in your face everyday if you watch television or read newspapers.

Oh, did he also chauffeur the dead guy around?
