Mumbai terror suspect David Headley was ‘rogue US secret agent’

Source: TimesOnline UK

A key terror suspect who allegedly helped to plan last year’s attacks in Mumbai and plotted to strike Europe was an American secret agent who went rogue, Indian officials believe.

David Headley, 49, who was born in Washington to a Pakistan diplomat father and an American mother, was arrested in Chicago in October. He is accused of reconnoitring targets in India and Europe for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the Pakistan-based terror group behind the Mumbai attacks and of having links to al-Qaeda. He has denied the charges.

He came to the attention of the US security services in 1997 when he was arrested in New York for heroin smuggling. He earned a reduced sentence by working for the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) infiltrating Pakistan-linked narcotics gangs.

Indian investigators, who have been denied access to Mr Headley, suspect that he remained on the payroll of the US security services — possibly working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — but switched his allegiance to LeT.

More CIA madness.

It HAD to be a rogue agent. :eyes:

that Giuliani was in India a few days before the attacks, shilling for his security consultancy.

Do you have a source for that?

He sure was in London the day of the attacks.

I'd really be interested to know what travel agency he uses.

By his own words at 4:25

Disgusting interview btw.

Poor Brazil: Ghouliani is going to be security adviser to Rio Olympics.
They better cancel that contract.

The United Corporate States of America has no vested interest in keeping the world convinced that the "terrorists" are taking over. The CIA is bought and paid for by Corporate America and big business controls what it does. But yeah, I'm supposed to believe that this one guy, single handed-ly went on a nutter and committed the act all by his lonesome.

Does this downgrade him from "terrorist" to "criminal"?

Let's watch what happens.

They still don't call Timothy McVeigh and his conspiritor Terrorist. They call Timothy McVeigh a disgruntled former soldiar with a grudge against the horrer he experienced in the Gulf.

And extrapolate that back to the infamous day we dare not mention around here.

I think the DEA and CIA are fully capable of paving the path for continuous military growth and action. And I don't know how or if America will ever find a way to stop this. Of course I'm assuming this guy was really not rogue.

... both before and after "that day" ... (and yes, that includes 7/7 in London
by way as "encouragement" for the Bliar to keep on track).
