Testifying before a Mumbai court for the second day on Tuesday, terrorist-turned-approver David Coleman Headley disclosed that "Pakistan's ISI provides financial support to Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT).
"David Headley said that ISI provides financial, moral as well as military support to Lashkar," special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam told reporters after Headley's deposition.
"I was working for ISI also and met many people from Pakistani Army," Headley said. Headley, however, denied that he was paid handsomely by the ISI or LeT for his services.
Continuing his deposition via videoconferencing before special judge GA Sanap from a US jail, Headley said that in 2006, ISI official Major Pasha and LeT functionary Sajid Mir and others met to discuss plans to set up a business for (him) Headley in Mumbai.
Later, in November 2007, he met LeT top leaders when the proposed terror attacks on Mumbai were planned in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, he told special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.
He also said that the LeT group as a whole was responsible for the terror attacks in India, and it can be speculated that all orders came from its top commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi.
