A Pakistani-American is expected to testify at a federal trial in Chicago that Pakistan’s intelligence agency supported the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.

David Coleman Headley will tell how he began preparing for the attack two years in advance with the help of $25,000 provided by an officer in Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI). Another ISI officer also assured him of receiving financial help, according to Headley.

Headley’s upcoming testimony will be presented at the trial of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Chicago businessman accused of providing financial and other support for the November 26, 2008, attacks that killed 166 people, including six Americans.

Rana is expected to say in his defense that he agreed to support the attacks because he was led to believe Headley was working for the ISI.
