CHICAGO — An admitted American terrorist, the government’s star witness in the trial of a Chicago businessman accused in the deadly 2008 attacks in Mumbai, faces more questions Thursday from defense attorneys seeking to portray their client as the man’s pawn.
Defense attorneys already have started attacking the character of David Coleman Headley, who has testified that his longtime friend Tahawwur Rana assisted him in scoping out targets for the three-day siege that killed more than 160 people in India’s largest city. During three days of testimony, Headley has detailed through emails and recorded conversations how he says Pakistani intelligence and a Pakistani militant group coordinated in planning the attacks.
