Home Minister asks NIA to prepare itself for questioning Headley

In a statement, Home Minister Mr Chidambaram said, he understands that India will be able to obtain access to Headley to question him in a properly-constituted judicial proceeding. <br/> <br/>Such judicial proceeding could be pre-trial or during an inquiry or trial. He said that he also understands that Headley is obliged to cooperate fully and truthfully in such proceedings. <br/> <br/>Mr Chidambaram said that he has directed National Investigating Agency and other agencies to quickly prepare documents necessary to start a judicial proceeding in which Indian authorities could require Headley to answer and to testify. <br/> <br/>Mr Chidambaram said that Headley has admitted to conspiring with Lashkar-e-Toiba members and to attending their camps which should now "spur" Pakistan to take action against all the conspirators and bring them to justice.<br/>
