| 2010-05-02 |
| New Delhi: The Centre on Saturday said all “bottlenecks' hindering access to the 26/11 accused, David Headley, have been removed and a new team will be sent to the U.S. to pursue the matter. “All the bottlenecks are removed and we have a way forward. So it's up to us to operationalise the plan forward,' said Solicitor-General Gopal Subramaniam, who has just returned from the U.S. after holding discussions. The law officer told journalists: “Once we are ready to constitute our team, and get off board from India, the access should be possible.' Mr. Subramaniam appreciated the “unstinted cooperation' from the U.S. authorities and said he had a “very fruitful' round of discussions with them. His five-day visit was aimed at understanding the U.S. legal system within which India could get access to Headley, a Pakistani-American, sources said. He discussed with officials of the U.S. Justice Department modalities of access to Headley, a Lashkar-e-Taiba operative, in an appropriate legal format. |
