Mumbai attacks co-accused David Headley on Wednesday testified that New Delhi-based National Defence College is on the hit-list of terrorists. Headly said that 26/11 mastermind Illiyas Kashmiri believes in this way he can kill more Indian brigadiers than what the Pakistan Army could not do in four wars with India. Within a few months of the Mumbai terror attacks, Kashmiri, who has now emerged as mastermind of 26/11, met Headley, asked Headley to go to India again to do surveillance of the National Defence College and a number of Chhabad Houses in various cities of India. When Headley, accompanied by Pasha, went to see Kashmiri in Waziristan in February 2009, he among the Lashkar-e-Taiba circles had emerged as what he called a surveillance expert and a key element of the planning of the terrorist attacks. According to Headley, Kashmiri asked him to return to India and said that his leadership was very upset about the recent Israeli strike on the Gaza strip and thus wanted retaliation.
