New Delhi: Indian investigators will get to question alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba operative David Coleman Headley, who is under arrest in Chicago and has allegedly confessed to helping the plotters of the Mumbai terror attacks.
Sources are telling CNN-IBN that the National Investigative Agency (NIA) is likely to interrogate Headley in May. The date has not been decided yet, but the investigation will happen anytime this month, say sources
A seven-member team, comprising a lawyer, a magistrate and NIA officials, will visit the US to question Headley.
Headley, who had a Pakistani father and an American mother, in March pleaded guilty to all 12 terror charges against him. He has allegedly admitted his role in planning the Mumbai terror attacks. Following his guilty plea, he has given up his right to appeal, but has also been spared the death sentence and even extradition to India, by assuring US authorities of continued cooperation.
He was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's joint terrorism task force on October 3, 2009.
