Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley’s statement on the role of three ISI officers in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks makes for damning evidence. It is hoped that this will isolate Pakistan diplomatically and exert pressure on Islamabad to prosecute LeT founder Hafiz Saeed. With Pakistan’s courts denying the prosecution’s demands for voice samples of 26/11 mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Headley’s testimony should prompt action on 26/11, and maybe even Pathankot, from Pakistan to save itself the embarrassment of having the truth about its terror infrastructure revealed.
