The fundamentalist who worked in a Philly bar
David Headley was raised by his father in Pakistan as a devout Muslim. When he was 17, he joined his American mother in Philadelphia and helped her run a bar called the Khyber Pass. Today, David Headley has a Pakistani wife, who lives with their children in Chicago, and an American girlfriend in New York. He is also an Islamic fundamentalist wanted by the police in Denmark and India.
Headley, who was arrested by the FBI in October, is said to have been the leader of a group planning to attack the offices of a Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in 2005. In India, Headley is also suspected of involvement in last November's attacks on Mumbai that left 170 people dead, nine of them terrorists.
India's National Investigation Agency says it has definite information that Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, who was also arrested by the FBI in Chicago in October, were in Pakistan during the Mumbai attacks. "Evidence is slowly getting established that Headley and Rana were part of the larger conspiracy behind the Mumbai attacks," an unnamed government source told The Times of India. "They were in touch with the same people who were giving directions to the terrorists."
Last Saturday, Mohammad Yaqub Janjua, 60, and Aamer Yaqub Janjua, 31, were arrested in Italy. The two Pakistani men are suspected of providing logistical support for the Mumbai attacks. They were identified after leads from India and the FBI, Italian police said.
