US citizen David Headley, who was arrested in connection with last year's Mumbai terrorist attacks, may have been a double agent for the CIA at the time of the incident, according to US journalists.
More than 160 people were killed in the financial hub of Mumbai in three days of attacks by a group of 10 gunmen, beginning on November 26, 2008.
Headley had allegedly helped plan the attack by conducting reconnaissance missions in Mumbai.
More than two months after Pakistani-American jihadist David Headley was held in Chicago, India’s intelligence services are divided on whether they were told the whole truth about the Lashkar-e-Taiba clandestine agent’s operations.
Many in the intelligence services even suspect that the United States is less than committed to letting the whole truth be known.
Public debate has focused on claims that Headley—who served as a Drug Enforcement Administration informant after being arrested with two kg of heroin in 1988—may have been planted by US covert services inside Lashkar after his release in 2002.
“If this David Headley was working for the CIA all along, which is a very plausible conclusion,” says writer and journalist Webster Tarpley, “It means that the CIA implicated and was running and masterminding the Mumbai terror attack of 2008.”

No relation between “Merchant of Death” and Thai arms seizureThai police say there is no relation between a plane carrying weapons that was seized in Bangkok earlier this month and the Russian businessman Viktor Bout. |
It is an open secret that with last year's Mumbai terrorist attacks US was heavily involved provoking a large scale local War between India and Pakistan in order to revive its ailing economy, but having not succeeded with that CIA is now heavily involved with bombings across Pakistan to prevent Iranian Pipelines carrying oil to India and the region from stabilising. How many innocent Pakistani people are being killed for US’s dirty game is a human tragedy and none of those responsible people will face justice like Nazi did after the World War Two. Not jet anyway, maybe when the limited Third World War finishes.
What can anyone tell by looking at the back of a head. Turn the head around so the face can been seen. This would be like trying to identify a horse by looking at it's tail. Propaganda does not make for good news reporting. RT should not try to emulate bad news media with stories like thei. The truth and the facts is all that is required if RT wants to be credible.
