Lashkar-e-Taiba in America

David Headley had a U.S. passport. He changed his name from Daood Gilani, and lived in an apartment in Chicago registered under the name of a dead man.

Fortunately for us he couldn't answer a few questions at O'Hare.

WSJ with the names of others charged in separate incidents, all linked to Lashkar e Taiba: Syed Haris Ahmed, Christopher Paul (no, he didn't change his name), Young Ki Kwon.

Headley took boat trips around Mumbai harbor before the massacre, and planned:
The 10-man attack team indeed landed by sea, then used firearms and grenades to assault two hotels, a cafe, a train station, a Jewish center and other sites. Six Americans were among those killed.
Who is Lashkar-e-Taiba? You might want to pay attention.

Before their arrest, Headley was harbored by the owner of a halal meet plant in Kinsman, Illinois. Reportedly, Headley is cooperating with the Justice Dept., which is at least some good news, as the jihad group seems to be going global.

P.S. And then there's this other creepy group.


More. Headley pleads not guilty to new charges.
