Mumbai, March 19: Pakistani-American David Headley’s confession in a US court about his involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks has strengthened the 26/11 case, currently being heard by a special judge here, public prosecutor in the case Ujjwal Nikam said today.
He, however, said 49-year-old Headley cannot be impleaded in the 26/11 trial here as it is nearing completion, but he can very well be put on trial in Pakistan.
Headley’s guilt plea has corroborated the confession of lone surviving terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab in which the latter has said that 26/11 attackers were shown a film of targets in Mumbai at a training camp in Pakistan by Lashkar-e-Taiba conspirators, Nikam told PTI.
His admission of guilty in a Chicago court has strengthened the Mumbai terror strikes case, he said.
