Islamabad, December 09: Close on the heels of US authorities charging LeT operative David Coleman Headley for facilitating the Mumbai attacks, the FBI will follow up leads related to his activities and connections in Pakistan.
A joint team of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and US Department of Justice will “follow up leads in the case”, including Headley’s activities and connections in Pakistan, US embassy spokesman Rick Snelsire said.
He did not give further details.
“We have been having close consultations with Pakistani authorities in this investigation and the joint FBI-Department of Justice team will meet officials of various government agencies,” Snelsire told PTI today.
Authorities were unwilling to divulge details about the US team’s visit to Pakistan for security reasons.
Pakistan has witnessed a wave of terrorist attacks in the past few weeks and visits by all US officials are usually cloaked in secrecy.
