US may give India "limited access" to David Headley

New Delhi, May 30: The

has told Indian home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde that it may give New Delhi a "limited access" to David Coleman Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana, accused in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, home ministry sources said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has named besides Headley and Rana, Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed of Pakistan, as the main conspirators behind the deadly terror attack which had claimed over 160 lives.

India had requested the US time and again to extradite Headley or at least grant its sleuths an access to him but did not succeed.

Latest developments, however, indicate that the US may give access to both Headley and Rana. Indian investigators believe that both men, who are currently imprisoned in the US, could reveal the larger conspiracy behind the 26/11 attacks.
