Donated 60-70 lakh Pakistan rupees to LeT, says David Headley
|
[Indian Express] Convicted American terrorist David Coleman Headley told a special court Wednesday that he donated 60-70 lakh
Pak rupees
| ...and there are 103.8 Pakistani rupees to US$1, so you can do the math, dear Reader. |
to Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned , always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
(LeT). Headley, an approver in 26/11 attack case, was being cross-questioned by the lawyer of accused Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal for the first time.
Appearing in the special TADA court via video conferencing from some holy man's guesthouse an undisclosed location in US, Headley told defence advocate Abdul Wahab Khan that he made the donation in 2006. Asked if the money was used to fund the Mumbai attack, Headley replied, "It was donated by me for many things, different things."
When Khan put the question to him in other forms, he said: "That would be impossible because the last donation was made in 2006 and the attacks had not been planned then."
Asked if he had disclosed this to the US government, he said, "I don’t remember... Maybe."
After having established that Headley visited Pakistain once for drug smuggling between 1992 and 1998, Khan asked him how he invested the proceeds of the criminal activity.
"I had purchased a few shops in the UAE in 2004," Headley said.
Headley lost his cool briefly when Khan suggested that he invested in real estate using his income from the LeT. "I never received any income from the LeT. I gave LeT funds myself," he said.
After Headley admitted to investing in property in Pakistain, Khan asked again, "Did you invest in Pakistain using income from the LeT or the drug business?"
"Urdu mein samjhaaon aapko?," bristled Headley.
"Punjabi mein samjhao," Khan smiled back.
Headley shot back. "Your client is fighting for his life. You have to be serious... It is not a joke."
When Khan repeated the question, Headley said: "My answer is that it is nonsense."
Khan complained to Judge G A Sanap, who admonished Headley. "You have to be very polite," he said.
"I am telling him in the language he understands," replied Headley.
Nikam objected to the question, "He is irritating the witness," he said.
Earlier, Khan took Headley back to 1988, when he was first placed in durance vile

for drug smuggling. He had entered into a plea bargain and served three-and-half years in prison.
In 1998, Headley was again arrested by Drug Enforcement Authority while attempting to smuggle narcotics into the US from Pakistain. Headley deposed that he entered into a plea bargain once more and served 15 months in jail.
The second jail term was followed by five years of supervised release. Headley said he had violated terms of the plea agreement to not indulge in criminal activity by joining LeT.
Asked whether 26/11 attack convict Dr Tahawwur Rana had been in touch with LeT turbans prior to 26/11, Headley replied, "I don’t remember. I will refer to the notes tomorrow and let you know."
Headley deposed that he had told Rana about his involvement in the attacks conspiracy "4-5 months before the end."
Headley also told court that Rana’s chief concern was that terror activities should not be carried out from his office in Tardeo, which Headley was running.
