A U.S. citizen of Pakistani origin allegedly posed as a Jew in order to enter the Mumbai Chabad center and prepare for last year’s attack.
David Coleman Headley, 49, was arrested last month in Chicago as he tried to make his way to Pakistan via Philadelphia.
U.S. and Indian authorities have been investigating Headley. Over the weekend, the Indian National Investigating Agency raided several places in Mumbai in search of evidence.
Indian security sources believe that in July 2008 Headley cased the Chabad center, known as the Nariman House, for the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is believed to be responsible for the attacks.
Indian investigators found that Headley visited all 10 Mumbai locations that were attacked last November, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
Chabad Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivkah, were among the six victims killed at the Nariman House. — jta
