US works at the highest level to provide India access to Headley

The US is constantly working at the highest levels to provide direct access to India as quickly as it can to David Headley, who has confessed to plotting the Mumbai attacks. <br/><br/>US Ambassador to India Timothy J Roemer today said in New Delhi that this is a sensitive issue, and the US is going to resolve it as quickly as possible. <br/><br/>Maintaining that the process of direct access to the Pakistani-American was full of judicial and legal complications, he said, the US is committed to ensure that justice is delivered to the attackers. <br/><br/>The envoy went on to add that the effort of America to provide direct access to Headley is yet another example of ver strong Indo-US relations. He Said, five-six years back, these kind of offers were off the table. <br/><br/>Mr Roemer refused to comment on possibility of extradition of Headley but said India has not formally asked for this. He also maintained that Headley’s significance and symbolism in India to the bloodthirsty terrorism of Mumbai is similar in some ways to Osama Bin Laden’s connection to 9/11 for America.
