    Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

    Holy Fuck everytime.. Remember the bloody shooting at the hotel in India? What a shocker a US Gov't Agent was involved. What agency was he a part of? That is important in knowing who is doing all of these false flags.

    Headley admitted in the plea bargain that he helped plan the bloody massacre by conducting surveillance and selecting targets, gathering GPS coordinates for the terrorist team’s boat landing along the coast, and more. He was also helping to plan an attack on a Danish cartoonist. And while the Federal Bureau of Investigation was given almost 10 hours to question the only surviving attacker in India, a team of Indian investigators who traveled to the U.S. to interrogate Headley was turned away.

    In exchange, the government vowed not to allow foreign authorities to question him or subject him to trial. Prosecutors also agreed not seek the death penalty, and he may not even serve a life sentence. Links to U.S. intelligence agencies will remain classified. And his guilty plea ensures that there will be no drawn-out trial that could publicly reveal any relationships with various intelligence agencies — most notably, the Central Intelligence Agency-linked Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence.


    The plea deal and the lack of American cooperation immediately sparked fury and despair in India, as the U.S. is reportedly bound by treaty to surrender Headley to Indian authorities. It also fueled accusations in the media that Headley still may have been linked to the American or Pakistani governments in some capacity. He began his terrorist training around the time that he was working for the U.S. government. But the connections, however, remain shrouded in mystery.

    Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

    Let me make the title more accurate:

    Mumbai Terrorist Was a Convicted Drug Dealer Working for the DEA

    From the first paragraph of the FBI press release:

    CHICAGO—David Coleman Headley, a U.S. citizen of partial Pakistani descent, pleaded guilty today to a dozen federal terrorism charges, admitting that he participated in planning the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, as well as later planning to attack a Danish newspaper. In pleading guilty to all 12 counts that were brought against him in December and were repeated in a subsequent indictment in January, Headley admitted that he attended training camps in Pakistan operated by Lashkar e Tayyiba, a designated foreign terrorist organization, on five separate occasions between 2002 and 2005. In late 2005, Headley received instructions from three members of Lashkar to travel to India to conduct surveillance, which he did five times leading up to the Mumbai attacks three years later that killed six Americans among approximately 164 people and wounded hundreds more.
    Looks like he was a convicted Pakistani born drug dealer who the DEA squeezed to work for them over there to probably get drug/terror intelligence where he fell into working for a terrorist group.

    In 1998, Mr. Gilani, then 38, was convicted of conspiring to smuggle heroin into the country from Pakistan. Court records show that after his arrest, he provided so much information about his own involvement with drug trafficking, which stretched back more than a decade, and about his Pakistani suppliers, that he was sentenced to less than two years in jail and later went to Pakistan to conduct undercover surveillance operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration.

        Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

        ffs Florida why would the US break a treaty and not ship him over to India for trial? He was the mastermind who is involved in classified agencies within the US. What proof do you need? Jesus.

        India is Irate and they should be. Why is the US protecting him and not sending him over to India then? Does the US always protect regular joe blow drug dealers.. Give me a break it is a cover up. In any other case the US would ship him over to India for trial and execution. He is not even going to get life in prison in the US.

          Protecting? Heres another quick result from google:

          Under the plea bargain, India can have access to the LeT operative by deposition, video conferencing or through Letters Rogatory.
          http://sify.com/news/No-linkages-wit...5u4ddjjdb.html

          Who knows if India is really upset about this or not if there is an official gov't press release out there stating this then I'll be more apt to believe it.

          Also:

          Links to U.S. intelligence agencies will remain classified.

          Well no shit.

          The US isn't going to gather a bunch of insider information then say: "Ok, here's what we learned, this is who is involved with this drug network and this is where their finances are going and coming from, and here is what we are going to do, and here are the people in Pakistan who got this for us, please go kill them."

          Put away the jump to conclusions map.

                No when you commit a crime in another country you get sent there.. Also India can't even question this guy.

                If you blow up mumbai you don't have a trial in the US..


                Also Reso does it say anything in your article about him being trained by the CIA in 2002-03?

                    Ever heard of Roman Polanski? Sorry the world isn't black or white.

                    No because he wasnt. Even if this is out there somewhere I'm sure the CIA isnt in the habit of making convicted drug dealers their bureau chiefs. If they were involved at all it was probably related to the drug/terror connection and using him to get that info in Pakistan.

                      Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

                      Yes it is Toasty. If you are a terrorist that blew up mumbai you don't go to jail in Chicago. Also is this another case of "How did he get back into the US?" Looks like the US let in another terroist.


                      How much did the CIA know?
                      The plea bargain details that while working as an American agent Headley attended at least five “training courses” conducted by the LeT in Pakistan, including sessions in the use of weapons and grenades, close-combat tactics and counter-surveillance techniques, from February 2002 until December 2003.

                      Training courses in April and in December 2003 were each of three months' duration and in such close proximity to the 9/11 attacks that it stretches credulity to believe the CIA didn't care to know what their agent was doing in the LeT training camps.

                      Today, the heart of the matter is how much did the CIA know in advance about the Mumbai terrorist strike and whether the Obama administration shared all "actionable intelligence" with Delhi?

                      A senior Indian editor wrote on Sunday, "Headley ... was convicted on drug charges and sent to jail in the US. We know also that he was subsequently released from jail and handed over to the Drug Enforcement Administration, which said that it wanted to send him to Pakistan as an undercover agent. All this is a matter of public record. What happened between the time the US sent Headley into Pakistan and his arrest at Chicago airport a few months ago? How did an American agent turn into a terrorist? The US will not say."

                      Yet, cooperation in the fight against terrorism lies within the first circle of US-India strategic cooperation. The Mumbai attacks led to unprecedented counter-terrorism cooperation between India and the US - "breaking down walls and bureaucratic obstacles between the two countries' intelligence and investigating agencies", as a prominent American security expert, Lisa Curtis, underscored in US congressional testimony on March 11 regarding the Mumbai attacks and Headley.

                      To quote Curtis, "Most troubling about the Headley case is what it has revealed about the proximity of the Pakistani military to the LeT."

                      Curtis put her finger spot on the US government's deliberate policy to view the LeT through the prism of India-Pakistan adversarial ties. This is despite all evidence of the LeT's significant role since 2006 as a facilitator of the Taliban's operations in Afghanistan by providing a constant stream of fighters - recruiting, training and infiltrating insurgents across the border from the Pakistani tribal areas.

                      The US policy is impeccably logical. It prioritizes the securing of Islamabad's cooperation on what directly affects American interests rather than squandering away Pakistani goodwill by Washington covering for the Indians.






                      Reso I think you like it when I do that.

                        You are comparing a guy who fondled little girls to a mastermind of a terrroist act that killed 160+?? Oh your arguments are weak..

                        Also Polanski is awaiting extradition so thanks for proving my point.

                          Stop being an idiot on purpose just to argue, you know the below is correct.

                          He is more valuable alive and in jail here to be soaked about his 10+ years of dealing drugs in a country which is financing the enemy of the war we are fighting right now, than to be allowed to be shipped off overseas.

                          Also the 3 or 4 links I read thru on http://www.sify.com/ (an indian news site) said nothing about CIA, if he was im sure they'd be the first to scream about it since it is an indian news org.

                            He was CIA.. FACT

                            Also this has nothing to do with "He is more valuable alive and in jail here to be soaked about his 10+ years of dealing drugs in a country which is financing the enemy of the war we are fighting right now, than to be allowed to be shipped off overseas."

                            ^^ That is not your call. He committed a crime in India and the US won't even let Indian officials question him... Reverse the siuation.. India is holding a man who bombed a US city and says the US can't have him or question him.. The US would say that India was hiding something or working with the terrorists.
