Headley conducted survey of German Bakery in Pune

LeT operative David Coleman Headley today told a US court that he had conducted a surveillance of the German Bakery in Pune and identified Chabad houses in Delhi, Pushkar and Pune which could be bombed. Testifying during the trial of Mumbai attack co-accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana, Headley said that he made a video of the German Bakery which was bombed on February 13, last year killing at least 17 people and injuring 60 others. While Headley was under arrest by FBI, the German Bakery was attacked. Headley, who ended his testimony, said the German Bakery blast was a part of the Karachi Project- an LeT project with the Indian Mujahideen. 50-year-old Headley has pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism charges related to the deadly 26/11 attacks and other plots in the wake of his 2009 arrest here. The Pakistani-American said that he made a fool of Rana by involving him in the 26/11 Mumbai attack conspiracy. While Headley has pleaded guilty, Rana has maintained that he is not guilty in the charge of support to terrorism. Defence attorneys said Headley lied to the law enforcement agencies and implicated Rana in the plot in a bid to save his life. Headley was cross-examined by lawyers of Rana, a Canadian of Pakistani-origin who is standing trial at a Chicago court after being slapped with a dozen charges in connection with the Mumbai attacks in which 166 persons were killed. Headley conceded that he was secretly researching on Internet at Rana's house. Headley expressed remorse at the killing of Indian people.
