Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

Holy Fuck everytime.. Remember the bloody shooting at the hotel in India? What a shocker a US Gov't Agent was involved. What agency was he a part of? That is important in knowing who is doing all of these false flags.

[B][I]Headley [URL="http://chicago.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/cg031810.htm?utm_source=co2hog"]admitted[/URL] in the plea bargain that he helped plan the bloody massacre by conducting surveillance and selecting targets, gathering GPS coordinates for the terrorist team’s boat landing along the coast, and more. He was also helping to plan an attack on a Danish cartoonist. And while the Federal Bureau of Investigation was given almost 10 hours to question the only surviving attacker in India, a team of Indian investigators who traveled to the U.S. to interrogate Headley was turned away.

In exchange, the government vowed not to allow foreign authorities to question him or subject him to trial. Prosecutors also agreed not seek the death penalty, and he may not even serve a life sentence. [U]Links to U.S. intelligence agencies will remain classified.[/U] And his guilty plea ensures that there will be no drawn-out trial that could publicly reveal any relationships with various intelligence agencies — most notably, the Central Intelligence Agency-linked Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence.[/I][/B] [B][I] The plea deal and the lack of American cooperation immediately sparked fury and despair in India, as the U.S. is [URL="http://www.dailypioneer.com/245419/US-bound-by-law-to-hand-over-Headley.html"]reportedly[/URL] bound by treaty to surrender Headley to Indian authorities. It also fueled accusations in the media that Headley still may have been linked to the American or Pakistani governments in some capacity. He began his terrorist training around the time that he was working for the U.S. government. But the connections, however, remain shrouded in mystery. [/I][/B]

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

Let me make the title more accurate:

[B]Mumbai Terrorist Was a Convicted Drug Dealer Working for the DEA[/B]

From the first paragraph of the FBI press release:

[quote] CHICAGO—David Coleman Headley, a U.S. citizen of partial Pakistani descent, pleaded guilty today to a dozen federal terrorism charges, admitting that he participated in planning the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, as well as later planning to attack a Danish newspaper. In pleading guilty to all 12 counts that were brought against him in December and were repeated in a subsequent indictment in January, Headley admitted that he attended training camps in Pakistan operated by Lashkar e Tayyiba, a designated foreign terrorist organization, on five separate occasions between 2002 and 2005. In late 2005, Headley received instructions from three members of Lashkar to travel to India to conduct surveillance, which he did five times leading up to the Mumbai attacks three years later that killed six Americans among approximately 164 people and wounded hundreds more. [/quote]

Looks like he was a convicted Pakistani born drug dealer who the DEA squeezed to work for them over there to probably get drug/terror intelligence where he fell into working for a terrorist group.

[quote] In 1998, Mr. Gilani, then 38, was convicted of conspiring to smuggle heroin into the country from Pakistan. Court records show that after his arrest, he provided so much information about his own involvement with drug trafficking, which stretched back more than a decade, and about his Pakistani suppliers, that he was sentenced to less than two years in jail and later went to Pakistan to conduct undercover surveillance operations for the [URL="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/d/drug_enforcement_administration/index.html?inline=nyt-org"]Drug Enforcement Administration[/URL].[/quote][URL]http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/22/us/22terror.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1[/URL]

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

ffs Florida why would the US break a treaty and not ship him over to India for trial? He was the mastermind who is involved in classified agencies within the US. What proof do you need? Jesus.

India is Irate and they should be. Why is the US protecting him and not sending him over to India then? Does the US always protect regular joe blow drug dealers.. Give me a break it is a cover up. In any other case the US would ship him over to India for trial and execution. He is not even going to get life in prison in the US.

NYTimes vs John Birch Society - Who do you trust more?

Who knows if India is really upset about this or not if there is an official gov't press release out there stating this then I'll be more apt to believe it.

Also:

[B][I][U]Links to U.S. intelligence agencies will remain classified.[/U]

[/I][/B]Well no shit.

The US isn't going to gather a bunch of insider information then say: "Ok, here's what we learned, this is who is involved with this drug network and this is where their finances are going and coming from, and here is what we are going to do, and here are the people in Pakistan who got this for us, please go kill them."

Put away the jump to conclusions map.

No when you commit a crime in another country you get sent there.. Also India can't even question this guy.

If you blow up mumbai you don't have a trial in the US..

Also Reso does it say anything in your article about him being trained by the CIA in 2002-03?

If they were involved at all it was probably related to the drug/terror connection and using him to get that info in Pakistan. :lol:

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

Yes it is Toasty. If you are a terrorist that blew up mumbai you don't go to jail in Chicago. Also is this another case of "How did he get back into the US?" Looks like the US let in another terroist.

[URL]http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/LC23Df03.html[/URL] [B]How much did the CIA know? [/B]
The plea bargain details that while working as an American agent Headley attended at least five “training courses” conducted by the LeT in Pakistan, including sessions in the use of weapons and grenades, close-combat tactics and counter-surveillance techniques, from February 2002 until December 2003.

                                                                Training courses in April and in December 2003 were  each of three months'                                                                      duration and in such close proximity to the 9/11  attacks that it stretches                                                                      credulity to believe the CIA didn't care to know what  their agent was doing in                                                                      the LeT training camps.

Stop being an idiot on purpose just to argue, you know the below is correct.

He is more valuable alive and in jail here to be soaked about his 10+ years of dealing drugs in a country which is financing the enemy of the war we are fighting right now, than to be allowed to be shipped off overseas.

Also the 3 or 4 links I read thru on [URL]http://www.sify.com/[/URL] (an indian news site) said nothing about CIA, if he was im sure they'd be the first to scream about it since it is an indian news org.

^^ That is not your call. He committed a crime in India and the US won't even let Indian officials question him... Reverse the siuation.. India is holding a man who bombed a US city and says the US can't have him or question him.. The US would say that India was hiding something or working with the terrorists.

Facts about this case

Headley was a heroin drug smuggler Headley worked for the DEA Headley was trained by the CIA and the LeT He was the mastermind of the attack He then ends up in Chicago arrested Pleads guilty The US won't extradite him The US won't India question him (Maybe at some later date ya right)

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

Also that asia times link never said he worked for the CIA, it is speculating on weather they knew he was over in Pakistan at the time training, and if they did why didn't they share it.

[quote] Training courses in April and in December 2003 were each of three months' duration and in such close proximity to the 9/11 attacks that it stretches credulity to believe the CIA didn't care to know what their agent was doing in the LeT training camps. [/quote]

Most of us know that the reason 9/11 happened in the first place is that the cia doesnt talk to the fbi and they dont talk to etc. So they just didnt know or care what a DEA informant was doing there at the time.

Stick with posting stuff in French as it looks again like your English is misreading all of these news snippets. :lol:

[QUOTE=runningman;849091] I love it.. Toasty is allowed to just make a post saying that not all the time you don't get extradited. [/QUOTE]

It's because what you're saying is obviously, and demonstrably, wrong. There are plenty of examples out there that would make this clear. In fairness to you, they've been reported in the news rather than posted on conspiracy sites or beamed into your skull, but they're out there. Google it.

Re: Mumbai Terrorist Was a US Agent

I like how you just dismiss my claim about if the rolles were reversed.. The US would be going OFF if India didn't let officials question or extradite him. Whatever Toasty enjoy your conspiracy.
