Video from Indian NDTV above provides some background about David Headley, the American-Pakistani terrorist linked with the allegations in this story:

More proof, if any were needed, of Pakistan’s deadly double game with the West, as an insider reportedly confesses the long-suspected link between Pakistani spy agency ISI and the Lashkar -e-Taiba, the notorious terrorist group behind the 26/11 Mumbai Massacre in 2008:

NEW DELHI: Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley has confirmed that Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists carried out the Mumbai attack under the “guidance” of Pakistan’s ISI.

Headley, who is being interrogated in the US by a team of NIA officials, has said that the notorious ISI was engaged with the Lashkar commanders responsible for the 26/11 carnage at “each and every stage of the plot”.

The account of the terrorist, who receed targets for Lashkar terrorists across the country, corroborates India’s stand about the involvement of Pakistani state actors in terrorism, trains the spotlight on LeT-ISI tandem, and explains Pakistan’s unwillingness to clamp down on the Lashkar leadership.

Headley has mentioned serving officers of Pakistan army — Major Sameer Ali, Major Iqbal and Major Haroon — as those who collaborated with the Lashkar terrorists. Major Sameer and Major Iqbal figured in the dossier India gave to Pakistani foreign secretary Salman Bashir.

NIA’s sessions with Headley tally with what he is learnt to have told the FBI, including the crucial bit about Hafiz Saeed being in the loop through the plot.

Whether the disclosures that undercut its denial will lead Pakistan to step up its cooperation with the 26/11 probe remains unclear.

Home minister P Chidambaram is to demand voice samples of seven Lashkar commanders including Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu Al Qama and others when he meets his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik during his visit to Islamabad for the conference of home ministers from SAARC region.

Pakistan has so far refused to give voice samples which could help investigators ascertain the identity of those who instructed the 26/11 attackers as they went about their deadly assignment.

It is common knowledge in military and intelligence circles that Pakistan's duplicitous Inter Service Intelligence agency (ISI) is harbouring and assisting terror in the region and the wider world

Significantly, the ploy did not work because of resitance from Lashkar leaders, particularly Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, one of the 26/11 masterminds. Lashkar leaders who have proclaimed themselves to be innocent and have accused India of levelling baseless charges, felt that the increased notoriety after 26/11 had raised the terror profile of the group and was going to help them with recruitment and funds.

Headley also admitted that while he had started off as a Lashkar recruit, he started drifting towards Al Qaida under the influence of Major Abdul Rahman Saeed. Saeed, who served with 6 Baloch Regiment of Pakistan army, took voluntary retirement in 2002 to devote himself full time to Al Qaida’s cause. Headley, who respected Saeed for his “sacrifice”, went high in the retired major’e esteem because of precise inputs he provided for the 26/11 attack.

Saeed, with the help of Ilyas Kashmiri, drafted him for the plan to attack Danish newspaper Jylland Posten which published controversial cartoons of Prophet Mohammad. This, when Headley’s original handler Sajid Mir wanted him to focus on Lashkar’s anti-India mission.

During his Pakistan visit, Chidambaram will also ask Islamabad to locate and arrest 13 absconders found guilty by Indian courts.

Ever since this blog’s inception we have been warning of Pakistan’s duplicitous gaming of the tolerance and generosity of the West.

While the civilised world unquestionably stumps up billions to this most treacherous of countries, its own intelligence and security services are heavily compromised and corrupted by the worlds most deadly terrorist organisations.

It also plays a similar game with it’s regional rival, India. On top of the existing conflict in Kashmir and the incessant nuclear brinkmanship between the two, it now seems clearer than ever that Pakistan is sponsoring and abetting a campaign of Jihad and terrorism against its closest neighbour.

Time to pull the funding, not the punches.
