From The New York Times:
WASHINGTON — An American at the center of an international terrorism investigation has been charged with helping plot the 2008 rampage in Mumbai, India, that left 163 people dead, according to a Justice Department complaint unsealed on Monday.
The suspect, David C. Headley of Chicago, is accused of helping identify targets for a Pakistan-based terrorist group called Lashkar-e-Taiba, whose two-day attack on luxury hotels, a popular restaurant, a Jewish community center and a crowded train station brought India’s financial capital to a halt and shocked the world. The complaint described Mr. Headley’s repeated scouting visits to the sites nearly two years before the attacks, which have reignited tensions between India and Pakistan.

My Comment: These charges are very serious .... therefore it is no surprise that David Headley is cooperating with investigators. I expect a treasure trove of information to come from this case .... much of which we will probably not know for many years. But one thing is sure .... an American played a central role in one of the worst terrorist attacks to hit India in many years .... a revelation that is disturbing to the extreme.
