Click to play videoNew Delhi: The Government on Wednesday gave sanction to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to file chargesheet against nine persons including Lashkar-e-Toiba operative David Coleman Headley and two ISI officials in the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack case. Sources have told CNN-IBN that the chargesheet will be filed next week.
Headley entered into plea bargain with the United States without taking India into confidence. Headley did a recce of the 26/11 targets for the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which carried out the attack on November 26, 2008.
A metropolitan magistrate's court in Mumbai has already issued letters rogatory to a US court in October 2011, requesting it to enable Mumbai police to question Headley and his accomplice Tahawwur Hussain Rana in the 26/11 terror attacks case.
Rana was convicted for helping Lashkar-e-Toiba in a plot to attack a Danish newspaper. However, he was acquitted of federal charges that he aided the terrorists who carried out the attacks in Mumbai after an eight-day trial in Chicago.
At least 166 people were killed with many of them being foreign nationals in the attack on India's financial capital.
