Mumbai, December 18: Lone arrested Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab today told the designated court, conducting trial in last year’s terror attack in city on November 26, that four ‘firangi’ (foreigners) including David Coleman Headley, who is presently in FBI’s custody, had reportedly visited him in jail for ‘interrogation’.
Headley was arrested in October this year by Federal Bureau of Investigation for conspiring to launch terror attacks on India and Denmark. He is suspected to be involved in the conspiracy hatched in Pakistan to carry out terror attacks on the financial capital of the country on November 26.
Kasab told special court Judge M L Tahilyani, presiding over the trial, that when he was in police custody, four ‘firangi’ (foreigners) had come into his cell for interrogation. Headley was also accompanying them, he claimed. As soon as Kasab uttered these words, Judge Tahilyani stopped him and asked to give reply to the question put to him only.
Judge Tahilyani recorded Kasab’s statement under Section 313 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPc). Post 26/11, a team of FBI officials had visited the city and also interrogated Kasab and two other co-accused – Faheem Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed.
