DEA informants Feds Confirm Mumbai Plotter Trained With Terrorists While Working for DEA
The revelations came after a report Friday by ProPublica and the Washington Post that the FBI had been warned about Headleys terrorist ties three years before the Mumbai attacks. Headley wasnt arrested until 11 months after the attack.
After Headley was arrested in a 2005 domestic dispute in New York City, his wife told federal investigators about his long involvement with the terrorist group Lashkar-i-Taiba and his extensive training in its Pakistani camps. She also told them he had bragged about being a paid U.S. informant while undergoing terrorist training.
Despite a federal inquiry into the tip, Headley spent the next four years doing terrorist reconnaissance around the world. Between 2006 and 2008, he did five spying missions in Mumbai scouting targets for the attack by Lashkar that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
On Saturday, the New York Times reported that another of Headleys wives he apparently was married to three women at the same time had also warned U.S. officials about his terrorism involvement. In December 2007, the Moroccan woman met with officials at the U.S. embassy in Pakistan and told them about Headleys friendship with Lashkar members, his hatred of India and her trips with him to the Taj Mahal Hotel, a prime target of the Mumbai attacks, the Times reported.

Every time I see Pakistan come across it is also a middle man to all this shit.
I do like the truth told here
You know, if we go out there and start messing with those folks, they know judges, they know lawyers, they know politicians. You start locking their kids up, somebodys going to jerk our chain. He said theyre going to call us on it, and before you know it, theyre going to shut us down, and there goes your overtime.
Really out of the Wire which was probably the most real fact or fiction show I ever seen. Really told the truth, you can get a warrant signed if you agree to help him move some furniture.
