Terror truth

David Coleman Headley has identified 5-6 Pakistan Army officers among the leaders of Karachi Project , which is aimed at organising attacks on India through fugitive Indian jihadis being sheltered in Karachi by ISI-Lashkar. Sources said that besides serving Majors Samir Ali and Iqbal of the Pakistan Army, Headley has told his FBI handlers about the role of one Colonel Shah and at least two other officers of the Pakistan Army in the Karachi Project. This disclosure demolishes Pakistan’s claim that terror against India being directed from its soil was limited to non-state actors. This came on a day home ministry sources disclosed that an NIA team preparing to leave for the US to question Headley will be accompanied by a magistrate. The magistrate will be sent when the US grants permission for direct access to Headley to record his statement under CrPC 164, which is admissible in an Indian court of law, sources said. The statement would be crucial when a chargesheet is filed against Headley.
