| 2010-01-29 |
| [The News (Pak) Top Stories] An American, David Headley, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to US charges that he scouted targets for a militant Pakistani group blamed for the attack on Mumbai in 2008. In court documents, prosecutors have laid out details of his surveillance in India on behalf of Lashkar-e-Taiba and another militant group in planning the Mumbai attack and details of another plot against Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, which published blasphemous cartoons in 2005. Lashkar has been blamed for the Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans. Headley, who spent several years in Pakistan, has previously pleaded not guilty to similar charges. His accused co-conspirator, 49-year-old Pakistani-born Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana, entered a not-guilty plea on Monday to charges he provided material support to the plots and to Lashkar. |
